Adding the M110 in the AS50's place?

[intensity 157]

I'm not a fan of the fact they're removing the M107, but I think it would be great to have instead of the AS50. 7.62x51mm, zeroing of 800, and with a night vision scope, just make it as rare if not more than the M107. Could also possibly add in one or two of the other Mk17 variants to add more uses to the Mk17 magazine.

What do you guys think?

Yeah. Funny you should say that. We're wanting to add it to our server.

My team's server is also working on getting it as well. We have the Mk17s and I personally love the CCO w/ flashlight.

Another thing: After reading the change log about weapons not having attachments, I'm not sure how this would affect the NV scope on the M110, but would still love to see it. ^^

on my clans server we have removed both of the .50 cals but added the L115 Lapua and mk17, though the mk17 is kind of a piece of garbage if u ask me.

Any particular reason why you think it's bad?

I would add just mk17.

Why do western weapons used by that country USA and Israel end up in Chernarus, a post-Soviet state?

Edit: Dwelving further into the matter I find that Poland is the only country which is a post-Soviet state that also uses the M110 (or SR-25 as it is also known as).

Add some weapons from the Warsaw Pact instead of adding weapons originating from NATO countries.

Just because it's a post-Soviet state, doesn't mean that any other alliances or friendlies could move in to assist with the breakout of the infection (i.e. the U.S.). Maybe add some creative story to your DayZ play time, makes it a lot better experience. ^^

mods remove as50's and m107's because they are ridiculous in the game's scenario

op says add similar guns in their place

makes sense

No, first off, I don't know what this rifle would plausibly be doing in Chernarus (same with many rifles atm). It's also basically a DMR with zeroing, it doesn't have the capability (read damage) for extra-long range.

Private hives, sure, not vanilla though.

I don't see why realism gets throw about so much for this mod. It's really not a great argument.

For me it is. Anyways the M110 can in no way "replace" the AS50:

-weak damage at range

-weak damage against vehicles

-800-900 meter effective range

So can we add tanks, gunships and the USS Enterprise?

I want a final and official storyline before we start adding weapons that are where they shouldn't be.

Without too much of a hassle, leave these unrealistic weapons to the private servers and if anything, add more Russian weapons and less tacticool stuff.
