What's the situation with these? :)

[intensity 157]

LRR does the same damage (if not, more) as an AS50. Big no go. QQ

Still banned at the moment.

It does? What like the M107.

M107 does around 35k blood damage. AS50 does around 175k. I've tested out using the LRR on vehicles and actually took out an all repaired hatchback quicker than the AS50.

And if we're going to add even more OP snipers, why not the M109? :D We could always use a 40mm grenade launcher with 1600 zeroing!

I can attest to the fact that adding the Lapua is a bad idea. Encountered one on a Panthera server, grabbed it, misfired it when my mouse knocked into my keyboard, and insta-gibbed my Ural. It seems to be about as powerful, if not moreso than an AS50 with 12.7 NATO.

.338 Magnum is more powerful than you thought lol.

[victusmortuus 1074]

Is there no way to lower the damage on it?

Only if you get a lower caliber. Which would be something like the L96 I think,

[Pandema 352]

I'm guessing the LRR damage issue is a DayZ thing? Because I use it whenever I can in normal ArmA2 and I've never instagibbed a vehicle before....although I may try now.

[Allyourbase51 38]

Yeah, almost as powerful as the shockwave from the exploding truck that was everything i had.

"Lapuas, what's the situation with these? :))

That doesn't make any sense.

Never mind, it's an sniper rifle.

They are easily added to the loot tables of private servers; I've added them to military high value on my test server. Good for disabling vehicles at range, but slow and clumsy up close - not the best of overwatch weapons by far.

The Lapua is pretty much a bolt-action AS50. Extremely powerful if you use NATO rounds.

The Lapua does the same as an M107, not an AS50. It can't use M107 or AS50 magazines. Still much too powerful for the round, obviously someone at Bohemia simply recycled the .50 caliber damage value.

I wouldn't mind if they introduced it to DayZ, but they would need to alter the damage value (it would still be a one-shot kill, but it's the principle of the matter!).

A lot of weapons aren't different in the pure "1 kil = x many hits" due to DayZ's different system of Blood and Bloodloss. Some weapons are more or less powerful than their non-DayZ counterparts, especially after OA beta updates or DayZ updates that aren't done according to each other. IE, I can shoot a URAL with a AS50 3 times in the hood and only put the engine in critical mode, but I shoot a URAL anywhere in DayZ with a '50 and it explodes immediately.

I hate how the AS50 is overpowered, someone made a bug ticket on Dev-Heaven about it but it never got fixed...

You know what I suspect? I suspect it wasn't a mistake, I suspect someone made a deliberate decision to throw away realism in favour of video-gamey "balancing".

It's ridiculously overpowered, check this out:

12.7x99mm, raw damage = 26

14.5x114mm, raw damage = 31

20x102mm AP, raw damage = 40

23x152mm AP-HE, raw damage = 45

AS50, raw damage = 56

Wtf!

It still uses NATO rounds, which are very powerful.

I don't feel like the AS50 is overpowered in and of itself; IT IS AN ANTI-VEHICULAR RIFLE... but in principle, yes it is.

I wasn't aware there was an 8.6x70mm NATO...

So your saying get rid of the AS50?

[intensity 157]

I've always wanted the AS50 gone. No actual need for it unless we are going to be adding vodniks and other armored vehicles to vanilla DayZ.

Shooting out main rotors?

True, but why not use the M107? Or just shoot the pilot. Either way, I don't think its that huge of a deal. I prefer it to be out, but at the same time if its still in, then its not that much of a deal.

Agreed, I never use .50 cals so ingame or out doesnt bother me just playing devils advocate.
