I thought the whole point of DayZ was to simulate the zombie apocalypse. That is why the people who play the game legit enjoy scrounging for raw materials just to make it through the next few hours. Is the engine not based off a milsim? It might have been a "has been" milsim but the basics still apply. Just because there is zombies in the game does not make everything void in the aspect of realism. Alot of people out there play this game because of its realism. So yea I think realism should be a goal as it has always been for Arma.

Someone does not know how to pvp. Anyway im glad its gone and so its massive numbers in the community. Thermals on a direct fire weapon is not practical nor is it realistic. I like realism and I got my wish. Now if only we can do something about people running around with AS50s like marathon runners "cough cough" I would be even more happy. :)

Someones mad they dont have easy mode anymore.

I pretty much laughed when i seen the ship but when I seen your character salute the ship I nearly lost all my Dr. Pepper through my nose.

True words^

You caught my attention when you said "Military" but when I seen the picture of 4 guys hard pointing 1 body I quickly just moved to another thread. Probably should have been better off showing a picture of an L shape if you really want to play "Militaristic" Hard points look cool but well they are not efficient for obvious reasons.

Nikiller. They have some thermal cameras out there that are very high speed low drag, but the ones that I used in the Marine Corp and and the ones that my brother in law is using right now as we speak 5 ft next to me takes massive amounts of batteries. Its highspeed but it aint low drag.

I mis read

That is the smallest thermal camera for a rifle I have ever seen I love that price tag. I wonder if its realistic to walk through the wilderness and just find $8000 set of Thermals laying around. Now that may work no problem, that camera looks pretty sharp but take into consideration my points I have already said about cameras and also apply that if that camera gets damaged then what? Are you going to yank your camera off your rifle the middle of a firefight and put your iron sights on? Assuming you have iron sights on your body and its actually BZOed. People get into the mind set of 12 power scopes on medium range direct fire weapons and then they get damaged by shrapnel or debris and then they have no iron sights or anything to replace it with...how do you fire? Look down the side of the barrel, yea that works in CQB but thats about it. Also if you have ever taken fire while looking through a Thermal camera you will notice that the muzzle flash from your opposition nearly blacks your screen out when they fire, you lose field of view. Dekartz if you had a clone of yourself and you were in Cheranarus...lol yea i said that and you basically had a 1v1 fight to the death, you will kill your clone who had a thermal on his weapon. If i Just as so much as suppress my target with sustatined fire he will not be able to aquire me with a thermal because of the blackout. You see how outrageous you can see people with the thermal in this game...yea totally not like that irl. You have to sit there and fine tune that camera for the best picture resolution, fade, gamma, all that nonsense everytime your target is at a different range. And you think you can shoot effectivley with a blurry screen and horrible eye relief? Hope that make sense.

Just to back up what the OP is saying, L85 with a thermal on top, I dont think people understand how big these cameras are, they are huge. It would probably take the whole rail system of the L85 to be able to put it on, Can you imagine how awkward that would be trying to position your head into the peep of the camera while you figure how to position your rifle in the high pocket of your shoulder? It would be stupid and your shots would be completely inaccurate. On another note since some people like to talk about realism. Dudes running around with AS50s. Dudes "running" around with AS50s. That is ridiculous, but hey, its in every video game for some reason. Anyone who has ever fired one of these weapons knows that uhhhh your not going to pick this thing up and run with it. Why? Because its heavy as ^&^%. Do you honestly think snipers carry this thing around all day long? Well answer is no. They break it up into 3 pieces, barrel, reciever, bipod. bipod goes into the alice pack or mollie pack, reciver goes into the pack and barrel goes between the pack and the back of the flak jacket. He will be carrying an M4 as primary until he and his "team" no more then 4 reach their hides. M4A1 and or 30 Aut 6 is a 10x better choice of weapon for taking personel out. If we are talking realism. But hey, i like video games too.

You want to talk real life? Good luck walking around with a thermal camera on a rifle. You ever tried that? It sucks and its not practical. Anyone who would put a thermal camera on a rifle its retarded. Thermals have no place on any weapon system except mounted MG's, if we are talking about direct fire weapon systems and line company equipment. Plus Thermal cameras are loud in real life. If you ever grew up in the 80s you remember the vhs tape camcorders. They make the high pitched tape noise and fan noise. Yea they are like that x10. So impractical for this type of stuff. You say its standard for infantry equipment? Uhhh maybe in your country. You know how much one of them cost? Where would you put it? How would you go on patrol with a thermal camera? I mean I just do not see how you could effectively employ a thermal camera on patrol period. I think your blowing smoke bro.

Tough call. Some people can say they could take a life for supplies and resources even if the person does not pose a threat to them, I highly doubt those people have ever taken lives before, especially a life that does not pose a threat to you at all. I dont know I think it would be tough for me. Maybe I could kill people from my own country and neighborhoods or maybe I could not. I would not have a problem defending my family and friends if there was a threat but I think that is where the line is drawn for me. I could not steal shit from other people or kill just because someone else has something I want or need. A simple "Hey man I know beefsteak and mushroom MRE taste like shit, why dont you let me take it off your hands" goes along way trust me.

Check out US 2830 server sounds pretty legit and I have been waiting for my whitelist app to go through and the server pop is not bad either.

Wow, sounds like what my friend and I are looking for. We will come check it out. Been looking for a server that does not go crazy with spawns and things like that. We want to try and play legit as possible without having it easy.
