1.9k hours here :^)
Yeah, friends are good, but you can really make a lot of friends just by not being an assburger in multiplayer and getting involved.
Month or so ago I used to play a lot on this one server, roleplay fun and all that. Got involved in the community, did my part in my whitelist faction and became known and relatively liked by a lot of people. All by just being fun to play with and not annoying. My point is, that even if you don't have friends who play it, you can still make some just by playing.
Also, you pretty much SHOULD get the DLCs for it. It sucks being locked out of even the smallest thing, at least for me, because it feels like you don't have the full experience. My tip is to wait fro the Christmas sale, which is very soon, and get it all then, along with the base game.
Be wary though, I have a med-range rig and I only manage 50-60 on low*er* population servers. Server I used to play on had around 130 people on it at peak times and I could only get around 30 FPS, which you get used to and really isn't unplayable. Just a heads up.
The mechanics are great in my opinion, gunplay can be seen as lacking compared to other FPS games, but gunfights feel rewarding and fun. Driving is alright, it's something you can get good at and isn't just there for transport (50.Cal Technicals ^^). The piloting mechanics require a lot of skill to be effective and efficient. You need to spend hours actually flying and landing the things to know how to do certain things and when to do them (Combat landings etc.). It's one of the most enjoyable parts of the game for me as I actually am (or was, meh) quite into it.
Gun ballistics. Well, there isn't really a whole lot to say. Main things you gotta look out for when firing is fatigue/sway and zeroing (bullet drop). There are mods for massively increased realism (eg. ACE with adds real-life tier ballistics and a full on medical system which you have to really study to know (It's just an optional mod tho)).
Now, mods. Lots of mods. All of the mods. Mods are fun. Lots (but not necessarily most) servers require some form of mod(s) to play.
Gamemodes. The vanilla gamemodes are really not all that popular (but are enjoyable!!). Lots of player-made missions and gamemodes you can just jump into and play like King of the Hill (3 teams fight in a city or the like until they reach a pre-set number of points to win), or roleplay gamemodes such as (INSERT MAP HERE) Life (Make money, buy gear, roleplay, make friends and join gangs. Can also be whitelisted as the popo or EMTs).
Overall, go for it when the FULL GAME (including DLCs) is on sale, you won't regret it, and you might even get a bit addicted to it.

"1.9k hours here :^)" didn't stop you from dodging my sniper bullet though did it :^) jk
Anyway yeah, what Excil said. I've played it also and enjoy it, but i prefer ArmA 2 for it's setting and the fact pretty much none of my friends have a PC good enough for 3.
