I've been around since operation flashpoint when I was like 11 years old or something. Played that on a rival tnt2 32mb card.

Yup the spread is so stupid. The weapon accessories should only affect a weapons handling not its accuracy. - bipod should not allow the weapon to be more accurate but instead allow to steady the weapon making sustained accurate fire possible and making sway a non issue in long range shots. - Magpul accessories should reduce the weapon sway and or bring the weapons iron sights up faster not somehow magically make the gun more accurate.

Lol its hilarious because it's probably true. If not a bow and arrow it's something else that is incredibly stupid like leg warmers. I know they have the technological knowhow, they can easily add all of the ace enhancements that have improved Arma. Heck even if they merely stole the bipod and weapon deployment mechanics from ace mod I would he satisfied. The current shooting mechanics and bipod mechanics in dayz are so mind numbingly stupid and clumsy.

Balance the m4? I would do the following. -eliminate the idiotic dispersion and accessories mechanic in the game. -add ace style ballistics and weapon resting - allow only accessories to work on the weapons they would easily work with in real life. - go back and redo the accuracy of all the weapons and give them their real life accuracy values ie. M4 approximately 2 moa at 100m, mosin about 4. Any weapon then seen as being op is lowered in the pool so the only way to balance it is to make it less available not the stupid unrealistic dispersion and accessories system.

Of course it would but even with the Enfield I felt adequate enough to protect myself.

In the mod everything was realistic no stupid dispersion or magpul parts that magically make the gun more accurate. Therefore I found all the guns equally op. A Lee Enfield felt just as powerful in my hands as a m4.

If that were true nobody would even bother playing dayz at all.

No idea what target finders are but what's wrong with lmgs. I would love the m249 and pkm in dayz

It should be rare it's a variable power scope with high magnification. From the model it looks like it is a night force brand scope. 2k dollar plus scopes don't grow on trees. Now a fixed power 10x mildot hunting scope that should be relatively common a good 10x fixed mildot scope such as the swfa as scope cost 300 dollars. I bought mine for 180 from a guy on Craigslist.

I thought there was a section for these stories do they don't clutter the main forum.

Why do people confuse mods with scripts? Epoch itself does not add 5k cars but a server owner does with a simple script. I also rather not play in these servers and thus I choose not to that is the beauty of private hives there is always a server to meet my needs.

Of course it will because the community will bring out a better product and fix anything wrong in dayz. I would switch the moment the community brings out a realism hotfix that removes the lrs from the mosin and removes all the garbage dispersion and gives realistic accuracy.

In real life there would be 0 I mean 0 situations where someone would rather have a mosin over an SKS or m4. Both the mosin and the m4 are more accurate, ammo is more available, and far more maneuverable.

Server hopping one of dozens of problems that are instantly fixed by private hives. This global server hive is a terrible idea always has been.

That makes me wish they would add scope bases and rings to the game each with different properties. Cheapo brand bases and rings won't hold reliable zeros meanwhile high quality ones do.

So these specialty mounts would be found in the wasteland? Of course you can mount anything on a mosin given enough gun smithing. Shit you can mount a 40mm grenade launcher if you try hard enough. Point I'm making is its not something a survivor would be able to do out on the field without considerable tools and experience. You simply can't just use a simple pair of rings and mount the scope like you would otherwise do with just about any other modern rifle. Mounting a modern day optic on the mosin I'd just not practical and downright unrealistic within the context of dayz. Like cmon man what would be the chances of the survivor finding a mosin that was drilled and tapped and also would find a specialty rail mount that already would be extremely rare anywhere else in the world let alone chenarus.

Yea the sks can't take a lrs. The mosin also shouldn't pretty stupid that it does. Currently the only 2 weapons that could realistically take a modern day short eye relief scope like the lrs are B95 A high quality 5k dollar hunting rifle. M4 the top rails allow for the mounting of the lrs with ease. Fact that the mosin takes the lrs is laughable.

The lrs and red dot sight should work they would only require a set of rings in real life to attach.

Can't tell if the dayz devs purposely are putting in unrealistic ballistics or if they honestly have no clue.

I sort or do. The mod is far better but more importantly I burnt myself out far too early when there was little to no content. So now when the game gets finished I will really force myself to play again.

What ?

More zombies will just result in people complaining about the janky crap. More zombies will just result in player frustration and anger. You know what might actually stop kos ? Making your life valuable and having a reason to live and stay alive. I think this can be achieved with player made bases and shelters. Base building will go a long way towards forcing people to think before they fire on another person. With player bases, private hives you need to think before you fire, you must ask yourself do I really want to make enemies with these guys who also have a base nearby, do I want them to come here and raid my house forcing me to start from scratch again.

3pv is good for nothing but exploiting game breaking mechanics and cheating by peeking around and over cover.

The alpha should be 100 percent focused on adding content and features. Optimization and bug fixing should be done at the end, this is an alpha it by no means needs to be entertaining we are merely testing the game so that the final product is a smooth fun experience.

Oddly enough I will say the vast majority of the population would survive zombies stand little chance against tanks and apcs.
