Ammo Calibration : Poll & Discussion
gibonez replied to stielhandgranate's topic in General Discussion
More common how? In military firearms sure. More common in civilian hands world wide no. 30-06 I believe still remains the most popular big game hunting round world wide. -
The game is buy and install. The mod required some work to get running. Just browse around here and see the huge number of people who never played the mod.
-
It's actually not. These depos are quite literally just storage facilities for weapons and ammo. The US military buys these grenades at ridiculously low prices it is Vietnam tech after all.

I did once on a single server. The ace mods hate dayz so they never allowed other dayz mods to use Ace mod. At least not officially. -
Go to any national guard depo or army depo in the US and you literally will find hundreds of thousands of them. These depo sites litter the US. However these round ate far more common in eastern Europe one only had to look at any modern conflict to see how abundant they are. Syria, chechnia, Ukraine, Serbia all conflicts where 40mm grenades and launchers are all easily found.

No "Specialized" Cartridges [Torchia Tweet]
gibonez replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
Yea agreed same thing applies to the 5.45x39 there are more than enough Russian firearms and ak variants in this caliber to justify it's addition. -
Gews who was the dev that did not like his mosin having his models bolt bent internally.
-
Yea a 40mm grenade launcher would not be a problem. It is commonly found all over the world and is by no means high tech. The 40mm could provide some interesting gameplay if they include realistic methods of aiming it in both normal fire and high angle fire. Giving players a makeshift short range 400m mortar at the squad level would be fun. Not to mention the crafting potential 40mm rounds would have especially with how diverse they are.

Then standalone should have downplayed the mod and let everyone know that the game would be nothing like the mod then. Let people know that standalone would have nothing that made the mod successful. None of the mil sim aspect. -

If they would outright come out and say it is because of some kind of engine limitation or hive restriction people would be more willing to Accept this. However if it is a design restriction people are right to be angry if not annoyed. -

How not adding the ak74m in any form unless it is true to its real life attributes. Adding what amounts to a civilian or curio relic firearm in dismal numbers would not solve anything. -
Making the ak 74m into the ak101 is not the problem. The problem is that such a change would just set a precedent for further compromises on realism and authenticity. So simply incorrectly changing the the most widely spread and used service rifle in Slavic countries to a modernized and niche 5.56 variant is not a solution in any shape or form. It's just one of those situations where we sort of miss what the big problem actually is.

That just suggests to me that they will continue to have dispersion as a game mechanic. The whole cosmetic accessories affecting accuracy mechanic will continue. Unfortunately -

It is 62 grains. Weight of the most common 54r for example would be 147 grains -
Ammo Calibration : Poll & Discussion

Heck of think the ace mod had the best shooting I have ever experienced in a game. Yet ace mod has far higher base dispersion rates compared to vanilla Arma 2. Along with higher dispersion rates it has more weapon sway, wind bullet deflection. Along with this more in depth and more satisfying shooting comes realistic weapon resting and bipod deployments. As a result of all these things firefights are soo much more rewarding and simply do not last seconds. Snipers actually require skill to achieve first round hits At even 400m, and the overall skill cap is raised substantially. People who want realistic accuracy and shooting simply do not like the comical accessory system thst outright feels like it was taken out of some fantasy rpgs. It is not realistic and as a result of it the gameplay sucks. -

Not angry just disappointed. :/ -
Ammo Calibration : Poll & Discussion

It is merely about putting the control in the players hands not having accuracy be dictated by randomness. Because of the randomness standalone has some of the worst gunplay I have ever seen in any fps. Inconsistency is key in dayz, inconsistent damage and weapon accuracy. -
Probably the unfinished damage model. Most guns seem underpowered because of it.

Jesus the fan boys in here would defend the addition of unicorns that did rainbows so long as they perceive it to be within the vision of the devs. -
Addressing the Weapon Calibers - Compromises and Proposal
gibonez replied to Katana67's topic in Suggestions
I still fail to see the reason for any sort of compromise. Solution seems quite simple to me. Decide on the calibers they want in the game. Then remove any current weapons thst are not in the calibers on thst list. Having nato mosins is simply unacceptable. -
Firepower is a term usually describing not a guns stopping power but it's overall capacity and round power. An m4 would thus have more Firepower than say an mosin

Dont hate dayz heck I have been playing it since the first week the mod was out. It is just that a lot of the old fans fears are coming true. With widespread success dayz is seeing mainstreaming and streamlining and Imo I feel the game is going to become a turd because of it. -
The mosin should be the dayz Enfield. Simple firearm with good iron sights, readily available ammo, OK accuracy, good versatility, reliable but has a lack of firepower. In this role I think the mosin would be even better since it is less accurate than an Enfield and holds less rounds.

They seem terrified to even touch this subject even though having it reach a conclusion is outright important. Funny how fixing this would straight up improve the gameplay tenfold and far more than any other gameplay addition they could conceive.
