Good news lads, Flecktarn german camo, is almost the most common in Czech army shops, so it should be added no matter what :-D. Anyway I'd like to have NATO gear mostly from heli crashes or from some very far north-west areas of the map (they could add NATO outpost there). Certainly not from Balota barracks or NEA O_o.

True, you can't use AKM mag in vz.58 in real life. Same as you can not use AKM mag in AK-74, yet it is not a reason not to add it. I'm not saying it should be priority, just can't see the reason why not to add it further down the road, that's all.

Free mod brought money because: lots of folks bought Arma 2 OA to be able to play it lots of folks then also bought Arma 3, because dayz mod introduced them into armaverse lots of folks bought DayZ Standalone because they loved mod or they saw Youtube vids and liked the gritty atmosphere and milsim aspects. So now tell me, how come you can't fathom dissapointment of some people when Devs chose to "streamline" important things like weapon calibers. Or when shooting mechanics & weapon accuracy is somehow worse then in mod. I mean it is over the top to call SA console garbage, but one has to be worried, if important stuff like weapon calibers, accuracy, attachments are done in a weird way untrue to mod.

For civilian sector, I'd like CZ550 and maybe in 2 variants, one with this camo For military uses, so more rare, Id like CZ750 EDIT & OFFTOPIC: Also can't understand Devs opinion of Sa vz.58 being too simillar with AKM. If they implemented it and added also modern accessories, I'd say it's pretty distinctive.

I think that problem for some people is not that the game is unfinished Alpha, but rather the direction it seems to be heading. We can ofc be totally wrong, we are not the devs, but really any attempts at "streamlining" in SA smells of "catering to the masses". I mean I'm still DayZ mod+SA fan, I've bought 2nd copy of SA to give it to either my fiancee or some of me buddies, once it reaches level good enough (mostly after FPS are better). It just rustles my Jimmies a ton, when weapons are shooting incorrect calibers, when iconic (for Czech rep) Sa vz.58 might not ever gets added, because it's too "simmilar" to the AK, when attachments are drastically influencing accuracy of weapons, when 1 shot to the body ruins half of the stuff ..it's not even the full list. So my, and maybe other's hopes are, that Devs will really ditch all this unrealistic stuff and deliver us game, that is better then mod in every possible way. If devs made list, showing what is currently only placeholder and will get replaced later, that might sooth many concerned minds :).

I am all for adding this...after they fix pretty much everything else. I mean I'd rather have a game with tons of feature even if it's not 100% polished so I can live with some clipping, clunky animation here and there etc. I really hope that shooting mechanics will be sorted out and caliber streamlining ditched.

Or you just need to adapt, carry ammo what you find and then use first gun that you have ammo for? Come on, bastardising calibers IS NOT what DayZ mod taught us, is it?

I have yet to see their whole argument as WHY it is a bad thing to have realistic calibers. And yes, I strongly dislike this "streamlining" of calibers as it feels more fitting to arcade game, not DayZ Standalone, which attracted players based on qualities of DayZ mod.

Ok but this indicated, they gave AK-74 a lot of thoughts

I kinda know they have AK-74 ready, they even showed it in one of the early SA vids (bunch of guys with AK-74's roaming round appartment blocks near Cherno). So only thing they would need to do is add one caliber of 5,45x39. Can't see how adding that would create tons of work for devs? All I can see atm is that they are holding introduction of important weapon, which is ready (atlast model is) and is held back only by caliber issue. I know I might be tad b**ching now, but it really bewilders me.

Good thing I found engraved M1911 in helicrash and had 3 mags I snatched from tents at NWA! Anyway from OP's story it really seems that 9m CZ75 is too weak. I doubt that his target was pumped full with Meth or something and also doubt that civilian clothing is made for stopping bullets. Will hope that current situation is placeholder, same as M4's accuracy, shotgun inconsistent dmg and attachments drastically changing accuracy of guns.

I'm just being affraid, from what Devs said, that they do not consider adding true AK74 5,45x39 at all, which in my opinion, would be very bad decision. Would really hate to see DayZ having only below for rifles: 7,62x51 7,62x39 5,56x45 .22LR pellets I would really hate if above was all we would be getting. After all these hopes for realistic approach and being pampered by DayZ mod in both gun variety and gun handling & shooting mechanics.

Weird, in my opinion this patch currently on experimental, is one of the best so far (once they fix "teleporting" back). Can't wait for it to be fixed and deployed on stable!

I can only hope that this will really happen.

I think it's better that way, that you need more tools. It's just bit painful that you can't carry more. Personally I would love to be able to find a sheath for knife of machette,so that I could carry those along with axe.

Gief both! I really want to craddle CZ (even 550) in my arms again. edit: Also can't wait for more types of backpacks. We need CZ backpack, some russian military one, also something that UK or German troops would use (more rare though, maybe helicrashes).

Pretty much this. I wish Sporter was more common, spawned in civilian areas and had chance to spawn with empty magazine. Magazines also should spawn in civ areas, not in police stations, barracks or military tent. I basically never use .22LR because before I find it, before I find magazine, I already have SKS, Mosin or Blazer. Same happens to be with crossbow and bow. I want to use that,but I cant force myself to throw away sks or mosin.

I really can't agree with you on this one. AK-74 or it's newer variants, is the most common rifle in "post soviet" states, hence it should be in game. Steamlining calibers is just plain wrong....it reminds me of Mass Effect 2 where they ditched concept of specific ammo and when with just one type fits all. It was sci-fi game, but still it felt wrong.

Based on what Torchia dude wrote, they just don't want to introduce 5,45x39mm caliber that classic AK-74 uses. Maybe because not so many other weapons would use it. He said, they could put AK74 in, but it would be in 7,62x39mm caliber, which would make many people (me included) mad. I kinda can't understand that logic though, few more calibers would not bloat loot tables too much and would be good for diversity. I fear that every rifle will be either 7,62x51 or 7,62x39 plus nato 5,56x45mm that M4 uses.

Since it's latest addition to the arsenal, it might get overglorified. But yes, I love me some AKM, I would also love AK-74 in 5,45x39mm caliber.

I think AKM especially with PSO and 75rnd drum mag might start to dominate, once it arrives on stable. For secondary, magnum or anything with .45 cal. If they ever fix shotguns then sawn-off :-D.

Well shotgun is obivously waiting (I hope) for rework same as M4 accuracy and gun handling in general. Too much random dispersion is killing the fun of killing. But yes, this topic has been beaten to the death already. I just wish devs acknowledged this and stated clearly, that they will rework this.

I like that! Looking forward to eavesdropping on the radio :-D.

It could be done in a way to always join the server with best ping or something like that. Anyway I was not completely serious with that post of mine.

I'd say it does the same dmg as SKS since it uses 7,62x39mm. As folks already pointed out, you can get folding stock (it does not fold) and PSO optics, 75rnd drum mag, aftermarket 30rd mag and the default 30rnd mag. I'd wager that later we get some RIS handguard, but it's not in atm.
