knowing dayz.... netting is line concrete walls... so static... thus you can't shoot through them..    so just to get this straight... for my comfort and state of mind... 

Snipers can't see you that well.. but you can see ALL the snipers up in the trees... hmmhmmm (doubt it) 

plus the fact that this netting isn't something (in all logic of dayz) something you can just 'remove or raise up' through scroll command..
thus making it a static object (for all we know right now) so WHAT logic does this tower give you advantage wise... 

it should give you a high-point overview advantage for people 'on the ground' 

but thats about it.. there's always a chance (if you're up in a tower) you get shot in the head by a sniper when that tower is out in the open surrounded by woods...
but my best guess? these towers are behind walls.. and their IN the woods.. so a sniper can't just 'take aim and fire' a bit more strategy might be involved here...

what would make this tower better?

sheet metal with small openigs on the first floor (or netting) and the same on the top floor... netting for the sides but not the front/back of the tower.

IMO these kinds of towers take up way too much space ... why not make a similar type of tower that we already have around mil bases? straight stairs.. 1 person towers. take up a LOT less space and are easier to conceal
just saying  

Thank you for stating this, this honest and clearly. Hope the game gets more difficult (reduced foods, also the mentioned hypothermia) soon!   Looking forward to your work, DayZ is the best game I've ever played, period.

More Trello treasure.... Looks like the very first picture of a DayZ character aiming inside a vehicle! "Drive this car to Cuba!!"

But you cannot fire through the netting, right? So it's no good for sniping from that level....

Members actually :-)

How did you expect to play Russian Roulette with an fnx?  Do you understand how it works?

It looks great - that`s the main reason why I bought dayz - BASE BUILDING in a sandbox game - zombie survival, and Frankieonpc1080 enjoy it too  so my taste is up to a good standard. ;) You need to board the zombies out - it should be a horde of them roaming the streets, and less about player vs player even though players are a lot more smarter than zombie AI, but most understand my reasoning. Zombies need to be a good threat - they should react instantly to sounds or weapon sounds, and dev. team doing a good job of that. ))

The plane looks really difficult to fly properly due to wheels - I`m more fan of old WW II war planes like Supermarine Spitfire. :) About Dayz I hope the dev. team add more military loot at NE Airfield so people don`t sucide when they start north of the map. I`m not fan of the end game items located mostly at the west side of the map - Berezino & Krasnostav need some love to get the map more interesting. Because when chopters or airplane will be used in Dayz - it`s a lot faster to travel to object A-B C-E - I don`t enjoy when popular dayz streamers just sucide north or far east of the map - it just follow a bad pattern and player base behaviours and they will use similar approach which result that the map far east and north is completely empty of players, and I dont like that.     

So you can look out through the net but are less visible yourself for snipers.

I've seen that in Arma 3 some servers use a plugin called "task radio force" (or something like that, can't recall the name atm), that makes users enter a TS server, that uses ingame data about the location of the players, and the devices they use to communicate all the players that are connected to the server. It can also be some kind of solution. But as Radi said: If a server appears with the mic-on option, I would gladly join it :)
