Timecharge 28 Posted January 23, 2014 What do you guys think of Military Vehicles with Heavy Weaponry on them (BTR's, Humvee's, Helicopters (I think), and planes) requiring a very rare type of ammo that you can only find in military-type areas? That way people are a little more conservative with their ammo when firing off Lethal rounds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fitzee 248 Posted January 23, 2014 What do you guys think of Military Vehicles with Heavy Weaponry on them Hi. I hate the idea of them being in DayZ. When I want that, I play ArmA 3, but alas I am in the minority on this subject. Regards. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DropBearChick 1217 Posted January 23, 2014 They should be added but extremely rare and so is ammo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louist 163 Posted January 23, 2014 I wouldn't mind some heavier vehicles, such as the humvee, but I don't want to see weaponized variants. The reason for this is pretty straightforward: you shouldn't have such vehicles without a means to counter them. But that means adding high-calibre anti-material rifles (which Rocket stated he didn't want to do) and RPGs to the game, which, I think, is just silly. Vehicles I like. In the mod, they added to the emergent gameplay. Merely having them created, for me, missions to find parts, tool boxes, and fuel, which I loved. I could spend an hour or two trying to get a truck in working order, and that sort of thing is great for giving you an organic experience. But a BTR running around with a machine gun or light cannon... Eh. Not really what in looking for. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash Arkin 266 Posted January 23, 2014 Nothing like this should be added because there will always be groups that will camp night and day to have stacks and stacks of this stuff hidden somewhere, don't add it at all, and no problem. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6The6Count6 28 Posted January 23, 2014 Most definitely but of course make them very rare, Also people DONT want RPG's? Whats silly about RPG's their probably more common place then M4's in a setting like Day Z...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruStanSc 9 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Screw military vehicles. We need tents and stashes :D(And motorcycle / bicycle) Edited January 23, 2014 by ruStanSc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hells high 676 Posted January 23, 2014 Personally I'd rather see makeshift combat vehicles; not necessarily a rusted up junker put together by a steampunk enthusiast with an art degree, but like a pickup with some heavy plates on the doors. Or a sedan with a hole cut in the top that you can stand and shoot from. Or even just the ability to burn through Elektro in a Yugo and have your buddy fire out the passenger window with his .45 at a rival pickup doing the same. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wartzilla 182 Posted January 23, 2014 No, I don't like this. At best, add them but make the weapons nonfunctional. That way they are just gimmick vehicles with slightly better armor and atrocious fuel consumption. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karmaterror 982 Posted January 23, 2014 Im completely against armoured vehicles. Arma is for just that, playing with armour. Dayz is about survival, no matter how rare you make it teams will just get all the armoured vehicles on the map, stash them, then save up enough ammo to take out cities from a hilltop.....do we really want that in dayz :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byrgesen 1341 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) IF we are to get any kind of armoured vehicles, it should ONLY be some russian variants, and they should be extremly rare, with NON functional weapons ofc.Something like 1 per server, only spawns every 2-3 weeks (except if its already there ofc), it should require a completely insane amount of materials to get it running and it should be impossible to drive on your own, teamwork should be mandatory.But if they put stuff like this in, they also need to put things into the game, which can stop such a vehicle.And then all of a sudden we end up with a lot of military stuff, which im actually against.Have to admit, ive got mixed feeling on this subject.

Lancer 2-2 14 Posted January 23, 2014 What do you guys think of Military Vehicles with Heavy Weaponry on them (BTR's, Humvee's, Helicopters (I think), and planes) requiring a very rare type of ammo that you can only find in military-type areas? That way people are a little more conservative with their ammo when firing off Lethal rounds. We should have local military jeeps (un-armed), maybe one or two transport trucks alongside civilian cars and trucks.... if there is a helicopter it should be a transport only and either in VERY bad shape (requiring a ton of repairs) and once it is gone, there is only a % chance it may spawn again during server restart. No armored vehicles unless it is a humvee (without weapons)... no planes unless the map is four times the size with a separate island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the above vehicles with weapons not a big fan but now vehicles you can fire your own weapons out of now thats something i like lol Because its a post soviet setting, RPG 7 would be far more commonly found as a very common military weapon in that side of the world then an American m4. Thats why. Try doing a bit of thinking next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
africanhungergames 192 Posted January 24, 2014 I dont want this game to go down the road of rpg's and mounted machine guns. Although you can argue the equipment might have been there It will just turn the game into a deathmatch. If there really was an apocalypse i really would not bother with carrying an rpg around and if you add mounted vehicles you would need to add something to stop them All in all, too much.

cptgriffiths@hotmail.com 21 Posted January 24, 2014 Absolutely not, like other people have said, it encourages kos and too many people play it like a death match as it is. I wouldn't mind an unarmed humvee but that's it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rydekk 250 Posted January 24, 2014 I think vehicles, like trucks, suvs, perhaps a humvee without weapons are sufficient enough for this game. But keep the damn armed vehicles out the game. also planes? This map has 2 airfields i know off, just no... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hypergolem 39 Posted January 24, 2014 It is funny how everybody in the forums are talking about guns, and what kind of guns, and tents, and vehicles, bikes, and armored vehicles and helicopters and, and... and bombs and... nukes yeaaaah, but it seems nobody cares for those creatures that are supposed to be terrifying, dangerous, the real rulers of Chernarus (oh and the game is named after them...) it is really funny...

HIHBGaming 14 Posted January 24, 2014 Tend to agree that if we see the implementation of these kind of vehicles it causes a downward spiral towards a PvPcentric game. It's not in DayZ fashion to have all this military loot spawning about the place and I really have to say no to the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
