We tried to repair a chopper last night and could not get it to work. We fed it a bunch of scrap metal and repaired everything on it aside from the hull (couldnt get it to go green). Put fuel in it and nothing. Hours of work and 2 seriously planned out missions to extract it wasted. I swear to god if I find a AT4 I am going to shoot it right into the side of that damn thing and let it die for good.

Current military here. Being taught land nav (mostly terrain association) among other things from my infantry training has saved me alot of grief. Except I have been playing with bohemia since OFP lol.

SERVER LOCKED! MUST BE CHEATING!

The botched helicopter job. Our plan was to go to electro to take the hele on the fire station. It was a mission that seemed impossible. A group of 8 or so of us load up the right kit get in the bus and off we go. We get to the dam just north of electro and park our bus. Me and another member head to the hills to provide over watch on the fire station. We get into our positions and settle in overlooking the city. Minutes later I call out "Bandit on fire house roof". I take the shot and wound him. He jumps off and kills himself. The rest of the team start heading to the fire house in the pitch black when they are ambushed by zombies. only a few make it up the ladder of the fire house and start repairs. After a while we realized there is fuel on one of our dead comrades body at the bottom of the ladder. Every body else being too scared to leave the roof and or working on the chopper I said to myself screw it and head to the fire house to get the zombies attention. I am half way there when a bandit goes into the firehouse and shoots a couple of our comrades on the roof. The other sniper providing over watch kills him and another running through the streets. Dead bandit count is at 3. I attempt to climb the latter at the fire house with my pistol in hand and as I realized when I got to the top of the ladder that it was a bad idea. I pull our my pistol and plummet to my death. I respawn just out of town and start heading toward it. Others in the group waited to go to the ladder since it was surrounded by zombies. I run by it and fire off my makarov to distract them. Another team member grabs all the essentials to get the bird in the air and starts repair again. I am running through town when I hear gun fire coming from a house on the south end. With 20 or so zombies behind me I decide to run to the house so they go after the two unsuspecting gunmen inside. They do so as planned. I run around the house using the other zombies around as a distraction to cover my footsteps when I finally come up to the window. Two bandits inside shooting at the zombies coming in picking off the last couple. After they do so I unload my makarov into their heads and kill them. Looting their bodies of all their gear. Which was good gear too. Coyote pack gps M16 maps another cz and other items. Now all mine and out of their repulsive hands. As I am doing this I hear over coms "the chopper is not repairing". "crap" I immediately leave town to the north and link up with 3 fellow survivors. See across the chat "what does save bus mean?" Crap! they are at our vehicle! I sprint through the woods and see a flare at our bus. It was a noob of course. We tell him to get out or be shot. He turns on the lights and tries to drive off. We kill him. While this is happening 2 of the other survivors die from getting eaten by zombies. Me and the team leader get in the bus and drive it up the road and park it waiting for our sniper to arrive. He comes shortly after and we head back to our camp. One of the guys that died spawned by Solichney and headed west. He asks for us to come pick him up and we head his way. We get to a link up spot and park and wait. He cant find the bus so the driver honks his horn and turns on the motor. He hears it and heads our way with a zombie behind him nipping at his heels. As he is running to the bus I take the shot with my newly aquired m16 and dispatch the zombie. He gets in the bus and we finish our trip back to camp. Even though we did not get our desired chopper and lost a few guys I left town with better gear than I came with and 3 bandit kills. I will definitely sleep well tonight. Now our search must continue for another chopper somewhere else on the map. And I will continue hunting for sub humans.

Definitely the pistol ladder death on electro fire house.

The AT4 is a anti vehicle weapon only. It wont do anything against troops in the open. It is that way in real life too. Source: Me US army infantry AT operator.

No noise or light discipline whatsoever. Your about as tactical and elite as a Somalian child army. Good job.

This is a good point made. A "Vigilante" skin would be pretty cool to have for those who specifically hunt down and track bandits. Say you get said skin if you kill 10 or more bandits. I like the idea.

I dont recall them zig zagging with the other zombie mod for arma 2.

Fix the zig zagging and keep the speed then the zombies would be on point. I dont think I ever recall seeing a zig zagging fast zombie in a movie. The sheer numbers of them already make them dangerous. I feel they are too dangerous when they zig zag since it is hard to shoot them while running at full speed while zig zagging.

As in all games I play I treat this as if I were in combat. (OIF Veteran). Especially when it comes too raiding towns and villages. During the day I decide to be quick and brutal killing everything in sight whether in a group or by myself and I am usually pretty successful. At night I am very stealthy and try never to even fire a shot. But I always make it my objective to make it in and out in a very short period of time. To me sitting on a objective is a huge no no. Since that gives bandits time to come in and cause problems or causes zombies to respawn and cause problems. As far as killing people. Killing lone or groups of survivors is not something I do or have done. Bandits on the other hand are a huge target for me. If your a bandit and I have you in my sights you are dead. If you are a survivor with a group of bandits you are dead. (guilty by association). Now that I am comfortable with my gear and living situation I will now be spending more time hunting bandits and making life hard for them. Just because I enjoy it. Think of me as a video game bandit serial killer if you will.

30 some odd pounds or 14 KG. Still heavy and would never want to carry one over a distance of 100 yards. But sooooo awesome when they are fired though.

As far as realism goes I would love to see anybody lug a m107 around for over a click without being a actually trained sniper let alone have a heavy back pack also. I had to carry one up 3 stories in a building in Iraq once... Never again.

Dont change a thing. I actually prefer to play in the night. I just turn up my gamma and brightness and bam!! I might as well be wearing NVG's. Do I use it to kill survivors? No. Do I use it to kill bandits? of course. Do I use it for looting? hell yes. Its not that bad. If I ever need to clear a dark building I just pop a chemlight and search very quickly and extinguish the chem on my way out.
