  1. Law Enforcement So, there has been a great lack of Police/Militia vehicles that are used in the Czechoslovakian Socialist Republic/Soviet Union Era Aesthetic of DayZ, here are some suggestions! 1. A Militia/Police (Drivable) GAZ-24 Volga with a working light and siren. Due to the recent update, and an idea of mine coming to attention, I have realized that the red spinning light on the bunker is a retexture of the police car's light that you find on crashed police Volga (Shown below). Using the blue rotary light, this can be made into a function that would work when pressing a certain key or button, and the light would turn on with the siren. The fixed police model of this car would look something like this (With respectable "ПОЛИЦИЯ" or "ГМ" markings instead of the Czech "VB"): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. A Police VAZ-2121 4X4 (Drivable) with a light and siren. This would be a new version of police car using the in game named "ADA 4X4", this could be used for off-road police situations and scenarios for role-players as well as for dynamic police situations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fire and Medical Service Vehicles Within DayZ Standalone, there are absolutely no Ambulances or Firefighting vehicles, and this could be a problem for overall aspect of depth. For example, the crashed plane in the tower would most definitely have had emergency vehicles respond, as there are even firefighter infected on site, but no vehicles besides civilian, which are nearby. 1. The ZIL-131 (Drivable) Fire truck. This fire truck is probably the most iconic vehicles in history, as it serves historical significance when serving during the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. The paintjob will stay the same, but the city name on the door should be taken off and replaced with the country name, "Chernarus", so the firetrucks can be used anywhere in the Chernarus map. It will use the same rotary light affect in blue, and have the iconic whirl siren noise. Wrecked versions of these vehicles can spawn fire/NBC loot for the player. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. A Praga V3S (Drivable) Fire truck. Using the same model with slight differences for the bed and also includes one blue rotary, and two red rotary lights on the top of the cab, it contains a firefighting bed as well. It would definitely replace the V3S's that are placed next to fire stations to increase depth. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. An RAF-2203 Ambulance. This ambulance would contain 4 seats, one of these seats are a bed that a player would lay on, but it would act as a seat. Two seats would be in the cab and driver area, and the last seat would be in the back near the bed seat. This would be used greatly by role-players that need to transport injured or critically injured players to certain locations. It would contain one blue rotary light and two sirens. Crashed versions of these could also spawn medical loot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope this post gets some attention, as I feel that this would be important for the role-playing community of DayZ Standalone, and not only that, but for the overall immersion of the game could be greatly increased if these vehicles would be added. Thank you!
  2. Hello, Bohemia, I would like to consider some things for the military side of your community in DayZ and may improve the quality of life for folks who like to do military roleplay/MILSIM. So, my first ideas for a few gear items would be: - PASGT Vest (Could be called BDU Vest [Colors: BDU Camo, Olive Green, Tan/Desert, Black)(No ability to carry grenades [40MM and standard frags/smokes/flashbangs]) - PASGT Helmet (Could be called BDU Helmet [Colors: Olive Green, Tan/Desert, Black]) - M14/M21 Rifle(s) - Helmet covers (Colors: BDU Camo, Marpat Desert and Woodland Camo, TTSko Camo, Olive Green, Tan/Desert, Black) - ALICE Webbing Harness (Could be called Field Harness [Colors: Olive Green, Black])(Would also have the ability to attach to the PASGT Vest) Functional abilities to some items: - The ability to blouse "tuck" your boots for any kind of pants (Jungle Boots, Assault Boots, Hunter Boots, Combat Boots) - The ability to mount certain scopes to the M16-A2 that may be compatible due to the top hole of the carry handle, or the ability to saw off the carry handle (as done to the FAMAS) - The ability to open the top hatch of the Praga V3S truck, to peer out or to provide covering fire to the driver. Another alternative would be the ability to mount weapons on top of the V3S that would be accessible to the passenger by opening the top hatch. Vehicles: - The HMMWV, or Humvee. Though this may not be appealing, it would not consist of much armor and would only be used as a vehicle of transport. It would also be the 1989 variant of the Humvee, that would be painted in a camouflage as seen on the destroyed Humvees that are in the game. Final Note: If anybody does see this whom are supportive of this post, or are part of the developer team, please take this into consideration. I feel that the Americans and their involvement within DayZ lore is too little unlike ArmA 2, where you actually played as Americans. You may also notice that most of the equipment that I have mentioned are from the 1980s to early 2000s, but that is only the fact that I feel like they may fit the aesthetic or theme of DayZ and how it is set within a Post-Soviet country that has not developed into modernity. Thank you for reading this. EDIT: Clothing: - Another vest item could be included called the grenadier vest. This would be in the camos of (BDU, Tan/Desert, Black and Olive Green) Functionalities: - The ability to cut up military clothing and receive the option to create a helmet cover with the military fibers given. - The ability to drape camo netting over vehicles Another edit!: I have come up with some ideas regarding the chemical zones within the game that stick to the 1980s/90s aesthetic of the game. First, US military chemical suits from the Cold War/Gulf War time period. - M17 Gas mask (Fully covered) that would act as both a mask and a hood, but would only take up the mask slot so a helmet could be worn over it. - US Army chemical suit jacket (could be called BDU NBC Jacket) that would be in the camos of (BDU or Olive Green) and would carry around 24 to 30 slots - US Army chemical suit pants (Could be called BDU NBC Pants) that would be in the camos of (BDU or Olive Green) and would carry about 20 to 24 slots - US Army chemical suit boots (Could be called BDU NBC Boots) that would be in the camos of (BDU or Olive Green) - US Army chemical suit gloves (Could be called BDU NBC gloves) that would be in the camos of (Olive Green or Black) (Example of these items) Please help support this post, as I feel that it would be important to the American aesthetic of the game, as well as enhance the RP/MILSIM lovers of the game as well.
