Thanks a lot! Hahah ;)

Broken loot changes written into the post. Thanks Chabowski. About definite spawn of choppers: it has to be present, the element of completely random positioning will do its part. Included into Community section anyway, as it could be interesting: looking hard for something unexistent.

That's impressive... But a bit too strong.

Nearly 1/2 only. There must be a reward at last... I made them choppers really hard to find.

L85 removed? DEVS I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

And now it will take high-powered stingers. So what?

This can be implemented, but only if the crash is located near a town/village. Thanks for that ;)

1-2 per server is too much? Don't think so. About the flat platforms: I don't know if ArmA engine allows bodies to lie parallelly to the surface, or straight only. Reworking the model may help, but if the second is true... The whole aspect nearly goes destroyed.

I would like it too. But here we are talking about the helicopters. I think no. Rocket said there will never be any NPC's. And anyway, they got zombified in mid-flight, still in the air. Thanks for your support everyone!

Good, pretty interesting topic. But this is too much of military stuff, and people will get lost in all that stuff w/ ammo. I would like to see Russian crashes, maybe some more NATO. Currently Europe is represented by UH-1Y, we just need some more loot for these and Russian choppers. I'm working on a large topic about this all besides. For now this looks like you googled all the weapons for a country and put them here.

Never happened to me before, only in 1.7.3. We found a chopper in Cherno, flied to Krasnostav, crashed on Klen, re-logged and got our old characters spawned in Cherno, near the hotel where the chopper used to be. Not Bad

Entering a shithouse and closing the door will kill you. THIS IS A BLOODY CURSE

Experiencing heavy desync issues on 1.7.3. Ran about half an hour from A to B, logged out and I'm at A, with all my loot I had had (killed a player on my way to B, took some of his stuff). This really sucks. Me and friends got it several times.

Thx guys. I have a Coyote full of empty whiskey bottles so I know what to do now! Now goodbye, I'll go exchange some of these for some big guns...

Namalsk should go parallel with Chernarus. These two are awesome, but such a mix will be shit.

I think that the only skill system is getting better at something over time. I had suggested a LONG time ago, but was misunderstood and the thread fell. If you want to survive in the forests but get a medic this is just stupid situation. I can't say that people will be VERY frustrated, but it's just a useless feature, that's all.

Traded with an unknown on namalsk yesterday. Gave him epi-pen injection and he gave me food (I starved). Really good to play so...

Good idea. Maybe making a player unable to log off when zombies are in 100m radius? This will finaly break the "log off in electro firestation - log in and kill a looter which has just cleared out that station and watching the exits carefully" This annoys.

Maybe achievements, but NEVER STATS.

I drink water, I care of my health. But somewhen I have to drink it. What do you think? P.S. I'm about DayZ, not IRL.

Hi everyone. I think many of you have played Namalsk and saw the crashed choppers there. These are somewhat alike crashed Mi-8 Transporter (look up here.) So why not to implement them in Chernarus along with American UH-1Y? I think it's logical for Russia to send recon groups to a post-soviet country. The mechanic may remain the same, but weapons are different. A quick list: AK-107 PSO KSVK SVD (non-camo and camo versions!) AN-94 "Abakan" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN-94) - uses AK-74 mags OC-14 "Thunder" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OC-14-4A) - uses AKM mags AK-74 Kobra with GP-25 grenade launcher (analog of m4a1 holo m203) PKM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PK_machine_gun) - night vision scope version available too About the technics now. Any other weapons are not spawned. Loot piles should remain the same, but American ammo is replaced with Russian ones. Such choppers spawn in game along with the American ones. The number remains the same, the chance of spawning one of two kinds is 50/50 (50% for UH-1Y and 50% for Mi-8). I hope for good replies and constructive criticism. Reserving a post for people ideas now ;) Comment and share your beans!

Good thoughts. Included to community modifications list.

Okay, I'll put an end to this endless conversation, Ashwood. Think I'll make a large general topic about the choppers.

I haven't whined. I just asked. I called your post off-topic because the thread is about design and loot, not about rarity of the choppers. I say that we need one more type of heli crashes and you say that heli crashes should be much more rare. These are close, yet separate topics. About your opinion: you are free, but telling everyone that their ideas are shit and then escaping into another subject - that is weird. Make a topic about your idea and defend it, I'll see how you will do. Really, James, I'm not trying to offend you, but your approach is a bit strange. If you don't like something, draw your concept.
