You have my support mate. It would be so cool to find some really scary stuff there

No reflex sight. If you mean something like this: They are fragile and not waterproof. They belong to COD. An eotech woud be much better. Something as simple as a foregrip for ak, m4 and mp5 rail handguard be a great addition.

I dont know what you mean with the title of this thread. But Chernoblyl would require a whole new map. This map would just be a radioactive wasteland where you couldn't hunt or gather stuff without getting sick. Play S.T.A.L.K.E.R If you want to run around with a gun in Chernoblyl Furthermore, the suggesstion of contaminated parts of chernarus was made many times before

Sorry bro, but I think your long ass post was a waste of time to type. This whole "are civilian guns legal or illegal" debate is pretty pathetic to begin with. When we are talking about Chernarus, we are talking about a fictional country which might have historical events or cultural background that makes it verry unique amongst all the post soviet states or maybe not, the point is its fictional. And the lore of DayZ can constantly change. Some guns like the colt python or the AUG are in because of the walking dead, at least the show had some influence on it. Other guns like the M4 or FNX where placeholders in the early days and as the development progressed we saw more and more authentic guns making it into the game. Of course a Nagant revolver or Tokarev would fit better than a FNX, but since the FNX is already in game it would be a waste to remove it. Same goes for other guns like the Derringer or Repeater. But those guns were implemented because they fit a niche and the ammo was alredy in game. And I'm sure we will see more authentic weapons coming. On the Mauser C96 Red 9, this pistol was verry popular in china between and after the two world wars. There were many copys of the Mauser or Luger P08 and even mixtures of both pistols. It's not that unrealistic that a Red 9 somehow came into the Soviet Union either through a trade of some kind or a buch of Mausers was capured by the Soviets in one of the border conflicts beween Russians and Chinese. You should take look at this video. Maybe it gives you some insight in thoughts of the devs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1uQE27y9y8 And finally: DayZ is not all about the guns. It is a survival game and not military sim like Arma or a Civil war like Far Cry where you can play rambo. It will no longer be deathmatch in Electre. In the future your primary concern will be to survive against the elements of nature and the infected.

Couldn't youfind some more realistic examples. I mean the onle reasonable is the 3rd pic. Somthing like a old surplus Ural bike where you could add a sidecar and tie on one or two drybags for storing gear and a jerrycan would be realistic. There would even be the possibility to mout a LMG on the sidecar. And a Ural is a realy tough motorcycle. Here is some inspiration from resident evil: Here is the ural bike:

Well at least I brought something new to the discussion :)

I currently have the firefighter helmet and jacket on my charater and would realy like a green helmet. Furthermore it would be nice to paint over the reflective parts of the jacket because I love its rugget look and the 6 slots but those reflectors annoy me

Ok forget about crafting bolts. I would agree that crafted bolts would lack the penetration capability and can't be reused because they would break. But I think a 80lb pilstol crossbow would have enough power to punch through a rotten zombie skull. https://youtu.be/ilnxprvehlU?t=7m20s And remember, its use would be to headshot zombies at very short ranges (under 10m) so accuracy isn't a big deal. The goal is to kill them silently to avoid them agro on you and attracting more zombies.

A riot vest like this would be nice too

Every thing you say is right, I shot a pistol crossbows myself. But my application for one would be sneaking around a town and headshoting zombies only 10m away before they agro on you. Currently I use a sporter for this. the andvantage of a pistol crossbow over a sporter or amphibia would be that you could craft the bolts yourslef and retrieve them.

Something way more usefull than a mortar would be a RPG-7, aka the poor mans artillary by insurgents and militas around the world. Here are some advantages over the mortar: The weapon and ammo can be carried by one personIt is accurate up to 1100m and would be more accurat than any mortar it would still promote teams, since you would need a squad protecting the RPG guy who can't carry a rifleit is easy to opperateit can take out groups of playersOf course it would have to be rare and the granades would have to take up at least 6 slots, but it would be more realistic and praktical than a mortar Anyone who plays Insurgeny knows what I mean

I forgott to mention this: Because they can't aim properly milítas only attac large camps. because thats the only way they have a chance to hit someone. in dayz, even if you attac a city or militay camp there wont be more than 10 people.

A mortar is just not usefull in dayz and the white background is hurting my eyes

mentiond this some days ago: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/223473-some-realistic-ideas-for-craftable-items-not-suggested-before/ at the end of the post

The way militas use mortars is thy fire 1 or 2 rounds in the general direction of the enemy and then get away as fast as possible because they fear counter- artillary and raids. And they even don't have to worry about hundreds of zombies being attracted by the noise.

Dont know if this will be usefull

Why does everyone want a g36c? I assume because it was featured in in multible COD titles. The g36c is just used by special forces like KSK and GSG9 in urban environment. The standard infantry g36 has a 3x scope combined with a reddot in its carryhandle. It would be so much better than the g36c. But I agree with The FAL is already confirmd and the m16 yould just require slighty modded textures and model, no different sound and reloading annimations, it could use all m4 attachements and mags besides the handguard

When there are no KOS people and everbody was friendly it would be verry unrealistic. KOS and Bandits are part of the game. There can't be good without evil

This is a bad idea on many levels. To carry a mortar you need 3 people (one for baseplate, lauch tube and bipod) and additional people for the mortarshells or a vehicle because mortar is heavy afYou don't aim a mortar like in Far Cry 4. This was just awfull.The way real mortars work is: Someone spots the enemy, then he transmits the position of the enemy to a mortar batterie ( 3 or more mortars in a dug in position) a few km away and they start shelling the enemy. The beaten zone where the bombs come in is usually at least 50m x 50m wideYou dont waste a mortar shell on 1 or 2 peope when you have the manpower to operate a mortar because you can take them out with rifles You would have to do some serious maths to calculate your shotsSince you can't dig gunner holesi DayZ, the element to counter mortars is lackingThe mortars would be heard for miles and anyone near you would come and hunt you down

It woul be cool if you could craft a spike strip yourselfe out of barbed wire. But since cars take damage in 0.55 (the font tires burst when you crash into something) and it is a pain how slow a V3S drives with no fron tires it wouldn't be of much use to destroy all tires if you want the car. You would need equipment to repair the truck afterwards and you would need lots of stuff to repair it. It would be simpler to catch your breath an simply shoot the driver than all these fancy traps.

Yes we need it. I thougt of this as well some time ago but forgot to make a post.

I jam the W and SHIFT keys with two paperclips
