5 suggestions

[freakydeakydutch 1]

Good morning DayZ forums. I am a bit new too here and this is my first post but here are 5 ideas I would like too see in DayZ.

1. (I am sure this one has been suggested but the search function didn't show it so...) This is a Russian country so instead of having a Huey why not have a MI-17 instead, or maybe a MI-3. and Instead of making it a military helicopter with guns make it a civilian with no guns why? 1 because that would seem logical and 2 because I will explain it more later.

2. Make LMGs mountable onto helicopters, instead of the helicopters already starting with guns. As i stated earlier with the civilian helicopter instead of the military ones. Make LMGs mountable onto the Helicopters. how this would work in-game, first you would equip your LMG then walk up to the Helicopter, scroll your mouse wheel and middle mouse on either "attach M249 to gunner", "attach M249 to crew chief" and I think the MI-17 has 3 gunner spots but I cant remember what the third is called. also as part of this suggestion make the mini gun at the Helicopter crash sites be pickup able and take up your backpack, but instead of making this usable on ground you can attach it to your helicopter as door gunner.

3. Add in old commercial Airplanes like the Antonov AN-8 or the Douglas DC 3, because if the map is going to be bigger why not add more ways of travel into the game? plus if the makers add their own 3D models for the planes they can add damage boxes to the planes so that the repairing works properly unlike the Antonov AN-2 "Colt" (biplane) which I think is always fixed when you find it.

4. This is kind of just a small addition, but if they are adding that zombies can hit through windows why not add in chicken fencing or chicken wiring to put over the windows so zombies cant hit through that?

and last but not least

Numero 5. Internal and external bleeding, I am no medic I tell you but there is a difference between internal and external bleeding. this would be implemented in car crashes and things like that where you would start coughing up blood and disgusting things like that which would leave an easy trail for a bandit to follow.

thank you for for reading my suggestions any comments would be appreciated.

cool except 4 at the moment in the mod zombies can walk through walls.

Sorry, I was a bit unclear on 4. I meant that in a later update zombies could hit through !car! windows but with chicken fencing over the car window they wouldn't be able to hit through it any more.

1. They already have the MI-17 ingame.

3. Commercial airlines? The problem is that there is no place to hide airplanes since they need runways to land. If you played on a server with airplanes, you would know they last less than 30 minutes after they spawn.

1. Even if it is in game it would still be better if there was no huey because lets be honest, i find it a bit Over Powered

3. with the AN-2 colt (biplane) you can easily land that in a random field, with the bigger planes this is where sneaky tricks like shooting out the engine if you've got spare parts comes in handy. But BTW why would you need to hide airplanes? wouldnt it be easy to use just to get from 1 side of the map to the other but without hiding it so to speak? plus the private server thing, I guess thats because people are just abusing the airplane and with emptier servers i would be quite fun trying to not get it killed.

Can't argue there, an Mi-17 would be more logical. I personally like the UH-1 more, it's easier to fly, it's more maneuverable and it looks prettier.

Completely agree, maybe the Helicopter could already have those guns on it and they could be detachable and vice versa or it might spawn without guns, randomness. The minigun idea I fringe on, just based on the bullet consumption and the cartridge used, only the FN FAL uses the 7.62 nato round. There should be no abundance of that round in the current dayz setting. Not to mention the power of that gun existing in dayz is questionable for balance reasons.

4. This is kind of just a small addition, but if they are adding that zombies can hit through windows why not add in chicken fencing or chicken wiring to put over the windows so zombies cant hit through that?

Agreed, this makes me laugh also in the sense that you can't shoot out of a car. And now rocket is planning to allow zombies to hit players inside the car. The unfairness of the situation is quite evident, not really sure what the ultimate purpose of this is. Maybe the way you're suggesting will be implemented eventually in the standalone. There are plans to allow players to modify and build on vehicles for more protection from zombies and other players.

Numero 5. Internal and external bleeding, I am no medic I tell you but there is a difference between internal and external bleeding. this would be implemented in car crashes and things like that where you would start coughing up blood and disgusting things like that which would leave an easy trail for a bandit to follow.

Internal bleeding is a serious thing. Fixing wounds is an intricate part of a survival game, not sure how internal bleeding would be done tastefully to balance realistic simulation with gameplay. A realistic approach would be that if you get internal bleeding, you die. A gameplay approach would probably revolve around having a different "bandage" for internal bleeding, which just doesn't make any sense and contributes nothing to the game.

Thanks for the suggestions Freakydeakydutch, I like some of them.
