I have just tried the ATV on asphalt at the airfield, while the speed is good, the acceleration seems too slow.
I used to own a 200cc ATV and that accelerated faster than the ATV currently in ArmA 3. I would suggest making it accelerate faster to also make it more useful as a getaway or recon vehicle.
Spawn ATV in editor on a flat surface, hold E for "turbo speed".
I confirm, acceleration is much too slow, compared to Arma2.
When you hit an obstacle, you can hear brakes, although you never used them
This issue was processed by our team and will be looked into. We thank you for your feedback.
Please keep the issue monitored to see when it is fixed.
in real-life Quad acceleration is that (start at 0:35)

please do something about that
thanks bis
The comparison of tuned NONE standard off-road/SUV vehicles and race tuned ATV’s as an argument is quite flimsy and silly for military/work spec vehicle,
given the specs of race ATV’s vs. work counterparts is well documented as are the principle differences:
Race: low weight <200kg, very high power (for the cc) at high RPMs, manual clutch and gears and almost exclusively just 2wd made for just one person to be on it primarily.
vs.
Work: higher weight >260kg, low to middle power range to promote torque, almost always some form of automatic transmission for ease of use with selectable 2wd/4wd, and built to carry load on the front/back racks in addition to the driver and passenger AND to tow a trailer.
For an ~ 500cc (~ +-50cc) work type ATV, the one in game is not to far off, and is so far the fastest land vehicle taking the direct route cross-country.
“off-road” pickup:
The 0-60mph(0-100kph) time for the “off-road” pickup is ~ 15sec, which is on par with a low to mid-range spec ~ 2500cc td/tdi 4x4 pickup of about ~ 120hp.
You really thing that vehicle acceleration in arma don't need tweak !!?

I can't said any more.
All vehicles need faster acceleration.
It would be great if max speed "e" from stand still would do a wheel spin & skid more.
That would make speed more important to control the vehicle.
