Dayz should borrow alot from red orchestra. The manual bolting, the free aim ( how your weapon moves around the screen without you turning your head exactly how it would if you aimed a weapon in real life ) .

the game needs red orchestra 2 bolt action mechanics where you manually bolt the gun back.

it wont hence why private hives are needed. Otherwise you could just server hop right into the middle of a base.

Yea this is my biggest pet peeve and yes even the bipod increases the guns accuracy in standalone. They need a new system.

Different mosins from different regions have different characteristics. Mosin I shot was a russian made one made in 1943 with a hex receiver . Mosins are simply not that accurate after doing a little bit of research I can safely say it was not user error but the gun is just inherently inaccurate as you would expect out of a mass produced war time weapon that is over 100 years in design. Looking online a bone stock mosin the best group I can find is just under 3 inches at 100 yards. Worst group is daam near 7 inches.

Up grade your potatoes or get left behind.

Seems development is moving at a snails pace. But alas even a snail eventually crosses the finish line so hopefully eventually we see the bow.

ACE mod had a great blood trail system. Hopefully dayz will too.

One must simply ask would such an item make sense would said item be found in that location ? Answer to both those questions is yes. Grenades should be available and it should be relatively common military loot. Grenades might play a vital role in the crafting system. String + stick + grenade = wire booby trap ?

Hopefully once more weapons are put in the ability to attach unrealistic attachments on the mosin is removed. Long range optics, the bipod should not be on the mosin it requires some serious gunsmithing to attach.

The problem is how the game represents that. Instead of making the gun fire in an unrealistic inaccurate cone make the gun handle how an untrained person would handle it. Make the weapon sway high, make the sight alinement not always perfect make the player not control recoil as efficiently as it is in game. All these things achieve the same result but without sacricing the in games authenticity. You can have your cake and eat it too. ACE mod has no problems incorporating realistic gun mechanics will straying true to the real life characteristics of the weapons.

Recoil when standing and firing crouched should be relatively high but when deployed on the ground or rested on a surface the recoil is super light on the pkm. The weight of the gun itself makes the recoil super manageable but that same weight makes it unwieldy since it fatigues your arms so much. Finding 7.62x54r ammo for it should not be a problem however that ammo is plentiful all over the world it has been mass produced by nearly half the globe for over 100 years.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Do some research, have a little knowledge on weapons and then answer instead of pretending to know anything. The only reason longer barrels exist is to give certain rounds enough room to fully burn its charge.

Private hives are the only reason dayz mod is still being played. There is a reason why private hives are far more popular than the public hive in the mod. People do not like server hoppers,ghosters and combat loggers. One surefire way to fix it is to have one character per server.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJWLP81qCAE You can lob 5.56 at far greater than 500m m4 is perfectly fine past 500m problem with hitting things past 500m is the standard 62 grain ball ammo used on m4s has trouble bucking the wind so getting first round hits is hard. 5.56 travels far farther than people give it credit for. Also no way in hell would a stock mosin have better accuracy than a m4. Best you can hope for with a mosin is about 4 moa at 100m. Barrel length does not mean anything when it comes accuracy why do people think that ? Barrel Length = muzzle velocity Heck in alot of new studies it has been shown that a shorter barrel tends to be more accurate than a longer one since it has less flex and is far more rigid.

Yea links would not be found in homes. If the crafting system really takes off I would imagine eventually people would craft non reusable links out of materials in the world. Finding 50 round military links would be the holy grail however. My one hope however is that military surplus ammo is found in realistic quantities. These would of course be military spawns and would be important once base building is in. no sane player would carry 400+ rounds around with them however they would take it back to their camp safely store it and distribute among friends. The military surplus ammo should have completely different characteristics compared to civilian hunting and match ammo.

Self blood bag, auto refuel were merely scripts. By mods I ment epoch, breaking point, origin etc. as far as public hives fixing server hopping and ghosting I hope they do eventually do this. However I doubt they will I would still prefer private hives as they seem to develop their own communities which is nice. Private hives will also be really vital once base building is put in place, one character per server you wouldn't want a player to server hop right into the middle of your base would you ?

Its alot bigger the sprint speed is just far too fast.

You just named problems you can easily solve by not playing on those servers. Vanilla public hive servers will always be around. Mods for dayz mod were the best thing it had going for it, while the vanilla mod stagnated mods took over and offered new islands, different playstyles and really evolved into its own thing. The community did such a good job with the mods that Stand alone a game with a studio behind it is still playing catch up to most of the mods for dayz.

Maybe they finally added some realistic sway and hope to incorporate weapon resting via bipods and or resting the gun on objects ?

Private hives are essential to dayz they should be priority #1. Private hives fix nearly every single one of the problems associated with dayz. - Combat logging - Server hopping -Ghosting All fixed with one private hive that only saves the location for the players who join it.

Absolutely right and even then those hand picked rifles shot accurately back in the 1940s if not earlier father time has taken its toll on the crowns and barrels and now they shoot poorly.

It should be a sim. It was built from a mil sim you know Arma. Everything about dayz should be a sim.

After like 2 seconds of research you can see that the Mosin nagant is indeed not a precision rifle nor is it a rifle capable of the 1400m shots that are seen in dayz atleast not bone stock using surplus ammo. http://www.thebangswitch.com/precision-mosin-nagant-on-a-budget-stage-1/ Read that article . That is a 3 shot group at 100 yards. That is one massive group. Massive 8 shot group at 25 yards. The mosin is a fine durable readily available rifle but it is by no means a precision rifle at least not now in their current condition using old surplus ammo.

That would be a good compromise. Or when sprinting getting shot trips you up and your own running moment causes you to fall forward. getting shot causes you to lose control of your character for a split second so you cant immediately return fire since you are still in shock at the unsuspecting gunshot.
