Squads and Armoured Vehicles

[Rekli 995]

SQUADS

I feel like adding ways of seeing who is in your squad (similar to arma2) would help with team raids and avoid killing your team-mates due to lack of communication and Would it be possible to make your team mark places on your GPS,similar to a objective on a mini-map,so you can meet up for a large raid,also having them marked on the GPS (and it would only update every minute or so) so you could see where they are during raids.

ARMOURED VEHICLES

I feel having a way to armour vehicles should be added and im not talking like steel plating im just talking about sheet metal placed over the door frame and back windows, maybe some double thickness glass that would be harder to shoot through but should also be a rarer spawn than plain glass

Why don't you just play Arma II then?

[Welch (DayZ) 756]

Jury-Rigged vehicles would be cool, like it'd take 2 Scrap Metal to cover one window with armor plating. Nice idea!

[Chris529 380]

I think car armor has been suggested before. I think regarding the squads it makes it more intense if you lose them and it makes you check your targets.

If you knew what you were doing, and you knew about communicating, you wouldn't have any blue on blue situations.

yes but what about marking areas for a squad to go,I feel this is what would happen in IRL meeting up for a team raid and getting because you can take on many zombies at a time and attack higher loot locations like the airfields

As fair as this comment is, I have to remark that it is somewhat hectic and difficult without customizable clothing. All the reds and all the blues are stormtroopers in this case.

Customizable clothing in standalone should solve most issues. Players will have to be cautious, but will recognize their own brethren at point-blank range.

this is a suggestion for the standalone I prefer DayZ over Arma:II

thx also i was think more of the window being like metal blinds (do you know what blinds are in america?not sure if you call them that) so that the metal is sloped that people can see out but not in,

2017 has armoured vehicles like that, sheets of steel where the windscreen used to be with a small hole for the driver to look through, pretty awesome!

[Rekli 995]

Also i think that being able to add gun slots on the side of Urals should be added because really who wouldn't want to add guns to a big truck?

So an almost kinda Mad Max theme?

I became interested in technicals lately and I think it would be a cool idea to add them in, seeing as they are in pretty much every lawless country where people have access to military equipment and vehicles. In real life there don't seem to be many improvised armoured vehicles like in 2017 though, since I guess visibility and maneuverability are considered more important and improvised armour would be either ineffective or too heavy.

I'd love to see a Land Cruiser 70 with a DShK. B)

to bronies on one post...meh

pretty good idea also i feel a system of climbing ina boot should be added....unless it already has....

[Charb 298]

Honestly... the mass confusion is something i enjoy in the game. The largest group I played with was 8 people including myself. we heard shots from atop a hill and all ran up in a line. It being heavily wooded with spruce we all lost track of who was who... it was pretty insane. I'm all for improvements, but against things that make the game too easy.

Laying in a bush watching the car.

Let me know when you guys are coming back okay?

*pause* "okay"

Okay you are coming back or okay you will tell me? I see a guy ! is this you?

"what does he look like"?

ARE YOU AT THE CAR OR NOT ?!

I agree with other posters about being able to wear unique clothing. instead of team braveheart, or team blackface. I know this is why people play on servers with tags, but I dislike that personally.

3 bronies. B)

But yeah, it would be cool to load people into the bed of a pickup.

[Rekli 995]

wouldn't technicals be a bit impractical because snipers could 1 shot them pretty easily (unless you built some armour around it I guess)

but it would still be pretty easy to kill the gunner

That'd be the tradeoff for a .50 cal.

Zombies don't try to claw their way into your metal shell, in real life. xD

To be fair, they don't really do that in DayZ, either. But they damn better!

Technicals move around 30-80 mph.

Good luck hitting that with your as50, buddy.

[Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521]

If they were to implement armored vehicles i would love to see more IED type explosives, traps etc. Yes armour on the vehicle is one things but then the IED is the perfect counter.

[VldZ 5]

Armoured vehicles sounds awsome!

But the suggestion with the squads..yeah...no...idk...it feels to me that it should stay like this,cuz it's perfectly fits with this game :D .I think more people just forget that this is a zombie survival game xD

[Chris529 380]

technicals could be added easily since they already exist in arma

if it moved in a straight line....aim ahead...Far ahead

also more likely to hit a moving target than hitting a target whilst moving
