I've done stuff like this before. Knowing how to thump your chest in a way that you can bluff someone into submission is more effective than some people think. Probably because they're not too good at it. Mainly it's effective in making a group of two or three seem more like five or six.

It is, which is why I was disappointed when I first discovered they aren't compatible in any way.

Yeah this would be good to consider only after server hopping has been curbed. Which itself should take a backseat to the script kiddies IMO.

Pretty sure those servers can be blacklisted if they're caught doing that, so best not to invest a lot of time into them lest they disappear.

Sucks. Be sure to send Awesome my condolences.

Took one shot to blast the cockpit window out and a second to hit him in the head. Felt goood. Had to wait for him to land though (which he sucked at) cause the heli was lagging all over the place in the air. Between him and the three trucks I saw in US 3 today, i recommend people avoid that server for now.

Eh, checked back a few times for more potential hacker kills but it seems to have resided. Mostly what I could see were about a half dozen Military Offroads (legal vehicles but that's an obscene amount to find neatly parked up in mint condition at an airfield) and the guy in he HIND. Three of the trucks were on the tarmac when I shot HINDey and the next three were there later on. The first time I checked back the HIND was still where I left it, but later on it was gone along with all the other trucks save for one, which was messed up down the runway a bit. Seems to have resided. Probably just legitimate players stumbling on the goods over time and taking off with them.

Not only does this suggestion suck incredibly bad, like seriously one of the worst promoted in recent memory, none of those are even DayZ's biggest problem right now. DayZ has developed an aggressively massive community of script kiddies, and they're much more of a detriment to the game's future than just people combat logging.

For practicality - AKM Overall - AS50 Side: Revolver

Any airfield, primarily because camp bandits like me exist. Secondarily because of traffic.

Not as far as I know. Someone posted a video earlier of someone using a hacker's satchel supply to level their base. I'll go find it. Guess they are then. Nevermind me.

AKA the Super Huey :P

The crashed helis are military Hueys, not Blackhawks. Blackhawks are hacked too.

Not true. I've gotten away with using the AS50 with zombies under 100 meters from my location. Sometimes it alerts them and sometimes it just incites them to passively wander directly towards you unaggroed, same as they would to a light source at night. I'm pretty sure sound carries differently depending on terrain in Arma2, and to that end it matters to not just have an open field for them to hear you over. Breaking it with a hill in the way helps a lot. As for zoom, I find that negligible since the AS50 has enough zoom to hit a survivor comfortably at the absolute maximum you can ever see anything in DayZ (klick). Plus it grants me the extra speed I need to kill parties of three in quick enough succession that they can't run or delog :D And the SVD is the gun for the sniper on the move who needs a PSO-1 scope for hardcore mode rangefinding. For extreme range, nest based sniping (which I prefer) it's somewhat capped by a pretty underpowered 1 setting zoom compared to it's distance capability. Never was a fan of using arrows over dots for zeroing either.

AS50 is hands down. Highest range, little recoil, uses M107's ammo, looks badass. And it's actually a pretty quiet gun. It just sounds loud to you but it's very generous with the zombies and the sound falloff is sharp at range. They just hear a little tap after the bullet crack hits them.

95% certain that's not in DayZ.

Half the fun as a sniper is being the kinda guy that finds and works with a nest that nobody ever thinks to check. There's no fun in shooting from the first place everyone thinks to go to. Shame on them :(

http://i.imgur.com/u3O9C.jpg Pissing in the ocean at this point I know, and documentation is not enough to curb the exponentially growing hacker community DayZ has developed. That said, do we have some kind of submission forum that the devs could access for this stuff and deal with people accordingly, or is posting this stuff on the forum all we have?

Woops, for some reason I skipped over all the server forums when I checked. Should I wait for a mod to move me or just remake the topic there? I imagine the former to avoid clutter.

Somebody add this one: http://i.imgur.com/goRii.jpg Saw it while I was approaching NWAF from the south end, but wasn't going t those buildings so I just snapped it from where I was and avoided it. It's right behind the comm tower.

Honestly, it's safer than just wind sprinting around the field. Hitting people on moving vehicles can be tougher for a sniper because there's more desync.

A quick google search turned up these: http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n590/MatMendes/arma2oa2012-06-2717-32-34-00-1.jpg http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n590/MatMendes/arma2oa2012-06-2717-32-29-47.jpg Wish it wasn't night when this guy found it though.

Who, under fire from a sniper (me) at NWAF, tried to hold their ground for up to 10 minutes in a hangar instead of combat logging. During this period Joppers was killed by a shot to the leg, Jacob got away and my gunfire drew a small horde that I had to fend off with my sidearm. Been sniping for a while, and you'd be surprised how rare that kinda thing is. Sniping tends to draw loggers more than most cause, hey, let's face it, I'm not exactly putting people in a fair confrontation.
