    Proper Forest!

    More undergrowth, everyone wants it... We won't get "real" forests though - too many objects.

    The Battle Rifle Thread!

    Yes, yes they have. A G3 and FN FAL would do nicely. Both saw use in the Balkans.

    A better Cripple system

    Oh sheeeeet. That reminds me, last time I played (which was a long time ago) I ended the session after breaking my legs running over a rock. I guess I'll be in trouble when I log in...

    The Battle Rifle Thread!

    Some NATO weapons are inevitable and many are appropriate. The thing is they don't use all of them at the same time. They might use M4s to special forces, or they might use G36 to front line troops while keeping the Kalashnikovs in reserve, but no country on earth issues a potpourri of G36s, SCARs, FAMAS, SA80s, HK416s, Galils, Bushmaster ACRs and M14 EBRs. Some people want each and every one of those weapons in the game - I would consider that to show carelessness and a lack of quality and focus on the part of the devs. Some people would consider that fun - I call it a clusterfuck.

    A better Cripple system

    There was no good reason to remove vault until they came up with a better "crippled animation". Vaulting everywhere would be so damn slow it would the same thing as being crippled anyways. I see no problems.

    WW2 Guns

    I don't see a "no" there Edit: oh wait, there is, thought you meant the SVT40. Must be a typo.

    WW2 Guns

    The XD came out in 2002, its Croatian predecessor in 1999...

    thermal scope

    The AS50 TWS is already confirmed, it's right in the files along with the other weapons on the current experimental build. It's true it's in the files - but it's obviously just a joke by the devs.

    Black Powder's Hunting Rifles

    Thread needs more Hawken IMO the most versatile blackpowder firearm is not a rifle, it is a shotgun, you can use it with anything from birdshot to pumpkin balls, it works for any type of game, including people, and you have two shots. Navy Arms "Magnum", first imported during the 1970s muzzleloading mania

    Battlefield 3 vs DayZ dispersion

    ACE pistols: 0.004 = 3.6 inches at 25 yards DayZ pistols: 0.03 = 2 feet 3 inches at 25 yards (7.5x worse) ACE M4A1: 0.00225 = 8.1 inches at 100 yards DayZ M4A1: 0.0118064 = 3 feet 6.5 inches at 100 yards (5.25x worse) Correct, it is slightly more accurate. AFAIK it gives it 0 dispersion, infinitely perfect accuracy. Same with the Mosin. Some older ACE version even had much larger dispersion, ie: "0.0025*1.5" for the M4A1, which equals 0.00375. I don't agree with some of their choices, for example they gave the M4A1 about 2-3 times more dispersion than typical groups at 100 yards... okay, whatever... but then they gave the M14 a more normal number (2.5 inches at 100 yards). They should have either given both normal dispersions, or given both 2-3 times larger. No inconsistencies. Another example, they seem to have given the AK the exact same dispersion as the M4. The Lee-Enfield is also too accurate.
  13. I loved the GSh-23 in Red Dead Redemption. Ace.

    1 fact 90% of you didn't know before.

    The pistol is Пистолет Макарова. The man's name is Никола́й Макаров. The "а" is like "'s" in English, instead of "Makarov pistol" they say "Makarov's pistol".

    The Battle Rifle Thread!

    The AK has a shorter effective range than the M4 Carbine so I don't get the "little longer range" part, and using common military ammunition, at closer ranges the 5.56 also has the potential to create much more serious wounds, either round is adequate. Main advantage of AK is the oft-mentioned reliability in adverse conditions. Take that away and it would have few advantages over the M4...

    1 fact 90% of you didn't know before.

    They call it the PM or Makarov's pistol, the pistol's name is pronounced like so: They also call it "Mosina", "Simonova", "Tokareva", in English we should not add the "a". Without the "a" that's "mu-CAR-uv" to my ears.

    Battlefield 3 vs DayZ dispersion

    1. Does the M4 still "feel right" when it has Magpul parts on it? 2. Did ARMA's M4 feel wrong? 3. Does the SKS feel right? 4. Does a Mosin with a compensator feel right?

    New Pistol [P38?]

    I remember he posted about a P38 nearly a month ago. Megatron: "Wish it was the Walther P38." Scubaman3D: "Its on my weapons wish list. I have a half-finished p38 model on one of my HD backups somewhere..." http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1zffku/new_weapon_ruger_mkii_closeup_screenshot/cftm7pi

    payday 2 M4 and weapons compared to dayz

    Looked into this a bit more and this is wrong, I redid it correctly: Sodier with AKM firing from prone, single shot, rounded to nearest 10%, torso-sized target -------------------No range or windage errors-----------with average errors------------------------- 200 meters--------------------90-------------------------------80-------------------------------------- 300 meters--------------------70-------------------------------30-------------------------------------- 400 meters--------------------40-------------------------------10-------------------------------------- 600 meters--------------------20--------------------------------0-------------------------------------- 800 meters--------------------10--------------------------------0-------------------------------------- Well, interesting.

    CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1

    What? Almost everything they use is of Soviet origin. Main rifles: AK-74, AKM Main tanks: T-64, T-80 Main APCs: BMP-1, BMP-2, BTR-70, MT-LB Main helicopters: Mi-8, Mi-24, Mi-26 Main fighter planes: Su-27, MiG-29 Noticing something in common? Their navy is all Soviet ships as well. The terrain is based on the Czech Republic but Chernarussians use Soviet equipment and write in Cyrillic. You should take a look at the equipment of the Chernarussian Defense Force. They have a video here: And here's the Chedaki video: Main rifle: AK-74 Main tank: T-72 Main helicopters: Mi-8, Mi-24 Main APCs: BMP-1 It's all the same, every single thing is Soviet. Anyways, my point is actually the opposite: the MP5 is way more common in former Soviet/Communist/Eastern European states. As I posted above MP5 is used in Albania, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine. Out of the former Soviet/Communist/Eastern European states the Evo 3 A1 is only used in Czech Republic. So the MP5 is a better fit, why include this when you could have the MP5 instead? The MP5 is a better fit to the game. This new Scorpion doesn't have a large market share (and it might never get one if submachine guns are falling out of favor as in the West), the MP5 has a huge market share.

    I HATE playing 3rd person servers.

    So far I've only played 1st person since hardcore was introduced, it's not like I'll never again touch 3rd though. However it would be nice to take pictures of my character (inventory screen doesn't cut it) so they should introduce a digital camera at some point.

    Throwing knives

    I hope they never introduce throwing knives. 1. Unless you actually have purpose-built throwing knives, well, good luck with that. 2. In the event that you have actual throwing knives, unless you practice with them every day, again, good luck with that. 3. Even if all goes well and it hits, it's still only equivalent to a single stab. 4. The "effective range" of throwing knives is really short. Danny DeVito-like. You could just sprint the short distance to your intended target and stab them repeatedly instead of throwing your weapon away in a most-likely ineffective and futile attempt. I hope they never implement Hollywood-type knife throwing. If you want to throw your knife or axe go ahead but the end result should be more Napoleon Dynamite and less Rambo.
