To be completely honest A real m4 fires in a cone too but this cone is substancially smaller so small that if you put a rifle in a vice and ensure that it does not move and is aiming at the same target for every shot When you a group of 5 rounds the cone of fire will be no larger than 2 inches at 100 yards. This cone of course increases with distance which is the real reason why precision rifles are used as sniper rifles. At 1000 yards this group turns into a 20 inches. in game however its incredibly inaccurate to the point you are truly rolling the dice when you fire.

P38 is a good choice. I just wish magazines spawned with the weapon that way finding magazines for specific pistols was not such a huge pain.

Battle Rifles especially with reflex sights and red dot sights will not be any different from assault rifles sadly. Where battle Rifles would have shined however is if the game had Arma 3s fantastic bullet penetration. Imagine seeing a player looting an apartment and he takes a shot at you , you then empty a magazine in his direction piercing the apartment and ripping it to shreds hitting him and anyone with him.

GTFO with that this so called uniqueness and balance is why we have m4s that are less accurate than 1776 muskets.

Yea buddy.

You do know the devs can control exactly how many of them are in rotation throughout all of the servers right ? Meaning if they put a limit of around say 10k lrs no more will spawn so long as 10k are actively out there in players hands. This might be what is happening and the max cap has been reach thus it appears to now be super scarce.

So much jank

I swear we I think we see this exact thread each and every day.

You can get around this with weapon specific attachments. L85 mounted with a susat scope. g36 with its unique combination red dot and mag optic m4 and m16 with its ability to take almost all attachments. Even so they will be very similar though.

You have to remember a games pedigree and where it came from. Dayz Stand alone came from a mil sim. Dayz mod is basically a mil sim with zombies. Why would anyone expect anything other than a Mil sim from stand alone ?

I would remove the stupid accessory system affecting gun accuracy mechanic. Instead gun parts affect handling ( Recoil, aim down sight time, sway and stability, bipods = ability to deploy and hold tight on objects or ground) Then I would give each weapon the properties from ACE mod so you end up with predictable accuracy that is true to life. Any op weapons would get adjusted in the loot tables.

All vehicles would do is make me use them as bait to kos more people or attempt to destroy player vehicles on sight.

I wouldn't mind hunting range finders added to the civilian loot. Cheap but not extremely accurate like military ones are.

I am still waiting for a fixed power scope with a nice mildot reticle for range estimation. Something like that 300 dollar SWFA SS 10x

I bet the fundamental flaw = zombies A tired old lame gimmick.

Merely a suspicion I have about why Third person View is still a thing. If I were a dev I would be terrified of the public outcry caused by the removal of Third Person view. Sure by now the majority of the community probably wants it removed due to the exploits and cheating that arises from it but those that don't will be so vocal that it would probably give the devs and the game negative publicity. So at this point I doubt outright removing TPV is even an option anymore unless the devs are ballsy.

Yea I don't like the idea of fragmenting the community just because the Devs are too scared to tackle the issue of exploits and crutches. Either FIX it by putting in some sort of mod such as the one op posted or remove TPV all together.

Exactly how a untrained civilian firing a gun would do it. Weapon sway, recoil and sight miss alignment. I would put in ACE's weapon resting mechanic, so pressing shift + space on the hood of a car locks the weapon on top of the hood greatly stablizing the gun this works on any surface such as a window or the floor when prone with a bipod. Then I would increase the sway and shaking when holding a firearm to realistic levels currently in game you hold it almost too steady. Finally after aiming down the sights for too long I would make it so your character struggles to align the sights correctly thus still hitting where the barrel is pointing at but not exactly where the player thinks hes aiming. As far as your comment on attachments. No a bipod will have 0 impact on a weapons accuracy, no a flash hider will not affect accuracy either, neither will plastic magpul parts on a m4. All those things do is affect the handling of a weapon the light mag pull parts could make the weapon come up from the hip position faster, or perhaps reduce run fatigue. The bipod could allow for less sway when prone or on an object. The flash hider could you know do what it does, and reduce smoke and muzzle flash thus hiding the shooter.

ahhhh do yourself a favor and wait to buy the actual game. It is in a bad bad poor shape right now and will be for the foreseeable future.

Sure you might be right but you do not simulate that by having the weapons fire in an idioticly huge cone of fire. To top this off you also don't simulate this by having a downright stupid I mean stupid attachment system where mounting pieces of plastic or muzzle devices greatly increase the accuracy of your rifle. This is a downright embarrassing mechanic when you take into account the mod and what it popular. Had dayz mod released with the same bullshit game arcade mechanics as stand alone I promise you nobody would be playing stand alone right now. It simply would have not caught on. Dayz mod caught on like wild fire because of the player interaction, importance of life, and the mil sim pvp.

What a wonderful and insightful thread/ Sarcasm.

How do you have almost 800 post and never played the game ?

It is a work in progress but the idea of the mod is very pleasurable and honestly absolutely needed. A version of the mod that slowly fades in players or some other sort of trickery so that people do not magically pop is probably being worked on atm. The ability to see around corners and over buildings and structures is a huge problem one that has to be addressed and fixed eventually anyway, 2 separate hives are all fine and good but the problem would remain in 3pv servers.

Only reason why the dmr was controversial was because of how poorly implement it was in vanilla arma. DMRs should be treated like sniper rifles in ace. They are the same weapon but you can see the slight decrease in accuracy every shot does not go exactly where you want it to.

As far as weapons only 2 weapons I would add are the following. Savage Hog hunter : Caliber .223/5.56 nato and .308/7.62x51 nato This handy rifle is extremely accurate comes fitted with a good set of built in iron sights, allows for the mounting of optics, and bipods and best of all has a threaded muzzle for accepting a suppressor. Good hunting rifle. Remington 700 SPS Caliber .308 / .223 / 300 win mag The most affordable most accurate bolt action you can get out in the market that is also extremely compatible with just about every precision bolt action accessory in the market. Since this rifle does not come with iron sights from the factory it should spawn with a detachable 10x fixed mildot scope.
