Remove -high it was only there for testing and does not work. I hope the command line works for you, but i think its more likely a problem in which the game access the page files and reads them.

I knew that I have seen that info before it was posted in 2013: http://www.battleguns.net/forum/m/7737561/viewthread/6153624-arma-3-cpu-optimization-low-fps-fix This no longer works it an old switch. It's easy to check, just go to Task Manager and see what the "Base priority" is running at for the arma.exe .

Maybe the ironside should be scraped (if the class can't be locked) and the tanks put back in the public car park ? AI still should be removed. As for people hopping in your tank not much can be done unless the class is locked, which means more scripts added to the mission file. Just stay out of AO's and find places where there's no players around, thats what i try to do. I have noticed some players have not done what Admin's have asked them to do, "by saying it not in the rules", i find this behavior unacceptable and should be dealt with severely as it disrespectful to the Admin's.
