Potental sawed off-able weapon: M79
stielhandgranate replied to stielhandgranate's topic in Suggestions
Well, the M4A1 is not as common as one thinks in the military as most direct combat personnel receive an M4, or an M16A4. M4A1s see more use with Special Forces. "Uncommon" weapons in use with Special Forces should be welcome (we already have that .22 suppressed pistol as well), as long as it isn't game breaking. This specular weapon has the advantage of being retooled into a sawed off. That being said the M79 can be used to deploy less than lethal grenades for crowd control. Seeing how Chernarussian police forces use the MP5, an inexpensive grenade launcher from the west doesn't seem so far off seeing how many 40mm less than lethal grenades are available on the market. They could be police spawns that happen to be compatible with military 40mm rounds. Gameplay wise it has its merits. Your group wants a grenadier that has reach? Well now being a grenadier is the only thing they can be unless they want to chop up their gun and lose the effectiveness it once had. -

Still, the devs have already modeled the GP-25 and M203 for standalone. http://www.dayztv.com/pic/dayz-m203-gp-25-grenade-launcher-3d-model-leak-dayz-standalone/ -

I don't understand why people are pretending that the devs haven't already released the in-game models for not one, but two grenade launchers for standalone. It is a matter of time before they are in game. There were grenade launchers in the mod and they were hardly game-breaking. Also the M79 hasn't been completely withdrawn from US military service. The imgae in OP is from a book about the Bin Laden raid. Here is an other example of the M79 in limited service: http://www.1stmardiv.marines.mil/News/NewsArticleDisplay/tabid/8585/Article/87041/marines-test-blooper-against-roadside-bomb-threat.aspx -
Oh man, there is a consequence to your cowadoody bang bang action. Next time try holding them up at gun point, asking for food or offering a trade.

The CR527 Carbine as it is has bigger problems. The reload animation cycles the bolt twice. If one were to do that IRL it would eject an unused round. It makes a poor rifle as the SKS does the job better.

Any of you guys wonder what time period dayz is in.

Chris T stated it. Stand by for source. -

stielhandgranate replied to Azzerrrr's topic in General Discussion
Why does everyone forget that dayz takes place during/after the events of ArmA 2? Its 2009. The presence of MICH helmets,MAGPUL accessories,FNP pistols proves its a late 2000s setting. -
server-reporting MUST be easier - please make a servers.txt
stielhandgranate replied to mr_snipes's topic in Suggestions
Agreed the whole lengthy process to report a server is total bullshit. If the Server UI is being altered than a report function should be a priority. Or just remove the password function. -
I like the idea of tape being used to fix backpacks,gorka suits,rain jackets and other articles where the sewing kit is unsuitable.

I think SKS and Mosin clips would be better. I doubt the leather one could fit magazines.

I think he is referring to single person tents like from the mod that have not seen professional military use in ages. Tents in military use today tend to be very large and capable of accommodating large amounts of people rather than individuals.

The Community's List of Suggested Weapons for Dayz Standalone (Version: 1.29)
stielhandgranate replied to alexeistukov's topic in Suggestions
You sound like you think are the authority on what "should" or "shouldn't be in this game. I'm sure on your adventures in East Europe when not finding Strikers, you never found pistols with integrated suppressors or AK pattern weapons in widespread military service chambered in 5.56x45. If you wanted pure authenticity with regionally correct weapons, then you'll be disappointed in this game has not delivered. Again, because a weapon is unreliable or in your opinion "bad", it does not mean that they do not warrant a place in this game. That goes for any firearm. -
Yeah I really hate this idea that there are no commercial tents for sale that blend in with their surroundings. I think they should come in several colors like the backpacks and allow one to conceal it with brush.
-
I hope this idea gets traction. I like the idea of having to feed a machinegun water and ammo to keep running.

The Community's List of Suggested Weapons for Dayz Standalone (Version: 1.29)
stielhandgranate replied to alexeistukov's topic in Suggestions
More Saiga and Vepr Shotguns are in civilian hands then in military use. Just because it "looks" menacing doesn't mean it's a military weapon. However there are several pros to introducing it such as the accessory rail is compatible with AKM attachments and it can be located at civilian and military locations, requires a magazine, so it will lead to balance between tube fed shotguns, and of course are semi automatic. Most people know the weapon from it's prominence in the STALKER series, a game that is also set in East Europe. Just because the gun is somewhat of an oddity in the gun community and few have handled one or even seen one isn't grounds for dismissal. If you want to talk about a gun that has no place, we can talk about the Amphibian S. Seeing how the current weapons roster isn't 100% based on location, you can stop freaking out about it. -
Reading conflicting accounts of tents in game. Are they persistent or are they still broken from the last patch?

Being the best weapon with no flaws is not criteria for what should be in game. -

Saiga 12 or Vepr 12 would make the most sense for a semi auto shotgun. -
Problem: M4 Carbine and accessories is now dependent on spawning in random wrecks. NATO/UN equipment such as UK assault vests,berets,MICH helmets,US Uniforms spawn in Chernarussian military bases. Solution: Create two separate loot tables. Hardened bases remain Chernarussian and are earmarked for Eastern European loot. Tent Cities such as the ones at NWAF and Balota are now NATO/UN equipment spawn points. This solves the problem of trying to gather specific equipment that is compatible with each other or suits player tastes. Example: Chernarussian Military loot table- Gorka Uniforms TTsKO Uniforms High Capacity Vests AKM and accessories AK 101 and accessories Makarov and accessories PM73 and accessories Pilot Helmets Tanker Helmets Smersh and accessories Binoculars Chernarussian military beret,Order of the Red Star Beret NATO/UN Military loot table- Tactical Shirt/Cargo pants M4A1 and accessories 1911 and accessories MP5-K and accessories UK Assault Vests Ballistic Helmets M67 Frag grenades Flashbangs NZ special forces beret,UN Beret Neutral Military loot table- Military boots Gas masks Combat knifes Medical items Weapon cleaning kits

Adding a brand new U.S Army Military base

stielhandgranate replied to stielhandgranate's topic in Suggestions
I have to mention those humvee wrecks need the same level of interaction the police cars offer. Players should be able to pop the trunk to check for American weapons or equipment. -
To be fair, I've read its very difficult to render slings with out relying on heavy scripting. If you look at most mainsteam games like call of duty,fallout,or warhammer 40k: space marine, they lack slings. Seeing how bad the take on helicopters engine is, I wouldn't hold your breath.

The word you are looking for is magazine. Also:http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/206866-create-two-seperate-military-loot-tables/ Tent cities would make better US/UN/NATO spawn points. -
I don't think the General forum is the place to advertise your streams.
