Also excluding Red Orchestra.
Can be single player.
Better than Arma3 controls.

Open to something old?

Define "realistic." You mean like realistic projectile trajectory, no anime running around sprinting and diving, etc?

Squad and Rising Storm

Insurgency Sandstorm is great!

Old is fine - as long as it can run on Windows 10. If anything, I find older games are often more fun given that they were mostly good via game play - not features, graphics, production value, etc.

One of my favs is still using Stalker Call of Pripyat as a base and then modding it.

Descent I and II. Get it from gog.com and then get the D1X/D2X Rebirth so it runs in W10.

Realistic can include (but limited to or requiring) any of the following but I realize it's still a game. Analogy would be like Forza or Gran Turismo series vs average arcade racer:

- Projectile trajectory (maybe even more detailed factors like projectile choice, temperature, atmospheric densities, etc.)
- Realistic damage and impact - ex shot in leg = can't run well

- Stamina, strength, and skill factor into running, gun handling, etc. - ex: spec ops veteran is going to use/handle guns better than average 3rd world joe
- Don't screw up guns for "variety and balance" - shotguns turn into ant farts at 20+ yards in most games
- Magazine management
- Guns will jam and you have to fix it, etc.
- On and on

IF you don't mind old. Hard to go wrong with first few ghost recon games and rainbow six series.
