Could the Devs of Arma 3, add 4 commands to the description.ext or the server.cfg that control friendlyfire?
for example:
friendlyfire_west = true/false;
friendlyfire_east = true/false;
friendlyfire_indp = true/false;
friendlyfire_civ = true/false;
or
friendlyfire = [0,0,0,1]; (West, East, Independent, Civilian)
that would help alot servers, and save performance.
