Roshi (DayZ) 397 Posted January 8, 2014 The angle changes of the headtorch just aren't right between different stances - particularly in first person. When you are in any stance except for standing fully upright, it is unusable. Either the light beam should be adjustable (which seems like too much drama) or should be centred on the players centre of vision (which makes sense). Very stoked that they are in game though - I pushed for them pretty hard in the early days of the mod. Also, it would be great to have a red-light option to reduce visibility to other players (my camping head torch has 4 light settings. PS I know people will say "use flashlight, you die", but hey I like the atmosphere and utility on a night server. I wish it was easier to turn of and on - e.g. via assigning a hotkey (my preference) or having a key-bind. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AP_Norris 1018 Posted January 8, 2014 Yep, it should always be EXACTLY where your eyes are looking.I suppose this is a problem with how the player model looks compared to where the player is looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NagsterTheGangster 388 Posted January 8, 2014 I like the red light idea, but my flashlight is more of a dimmed orange light 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ubernaut 297 Posted January 8, 2014 Headtorches should be attachable to headgear, IMO; particularly the ballistic helmet. Or am I just doing something wrong? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AP_Norris 1018 Posted January 8, 2014 It would actually be nice to have a modern LED headtorch with red, green, dimmed and full light settings.The lower light would come in really helpful when indoors and you just need a little light to see items.I also think you should be able to achieve this by wrapping a rag around the current torches to have it dimmer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stielhandgranate 480 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Headtorches should be attachable to headgear, IMO; particularly the ballistic helmet. Or am I just doing something wrong? No, you're right. At my first duty station we got these headlamps from PETZEL that look just like the standalone model that we wore on our MICH.

Mr Jizz 313 Posted January 10, 2014 Headtorches should be attachable to headgear, IMO; particularly the ballistic helmet. Or am I just doing something wrong? Amen dude. Such a bitch to have to choose. Especially when I'm fully loaded and can't swap the helmet (4 slots) for the headlamp (1 slot) in my inventory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brazorf 46 Posted March 2, 2014 +1, headtorch is unusable. If you equip a gun and you are in combat stance, it's now centered on your "white dot" neither (it does though with melee weapons such as fireaxe).Furthermore, lol, if you equip a compass it will stay out of the light, so that you can't see anything.
