Remove or change NEAF and Balota. One military airfield is already enough. Too much military.

[St. Jimmy 1631]

This isn't Arma anymore so they aren't really needed. Maybe Balota could be a small civilian airfield. Too many military bases ruins the mood of Chernarus. More "civil" Chernarus would be cooler :)

[Aamunkajo 110]

I like the military places. Those look cool. Im fine with them if there just dont spawn too much military loot :)

its military due to the Zeds. Think about if a Zombie apocalypse actually happened, there would be military all over do to the response to try to suppress the outbreak it makes sense honestly hence the military encampment at NWAF most likely there for processing survivors or injured. I agree there should be one civilian airfield but if that happens it will most likely mix in NW since its the biggest of the 3, as for balota and NEAF those I'm sure will stay due to popularity. You are right though this isnt Arma but military will still have a huge role in this game either way, Thank the Zeds for that.

I don't know what they would change on the NEAF to make it "more civilian" besides making entirely new building models. It's already very bare bones (2 hangars + an ATC and a few service buildings) and would probably be something civilians would use after a military conflict has ended. Balota is incredibly far away from the spawn points, so there's no real need to change up what's there.

Game most of all needs to reduce amount of military clothing spawns. I don't like that everybody is dressed like a soldier army wear should be extremely rare.

[yorkmorgan 191]

civilian balota would be great, would add variety and let them bring back the southern spawns

It's not really "rare" but the fact that everyone wants to dress up as a soldier and run around with military gear speaks for itself...this isn't the DayZ i imagined it to become after playing the mod for the first time where KoSing wasn't an issue. Even when you've seen everything, done everything and killed everything and it becomes boring you don't need to resort to KoS because that will eventually become boring too.

I would like to see a small civilian airfield just for a change of pace.

When they complete all survival features like hunting, fishing, cooking and crafting they will probably reduce the amount of canned food, the amount on military weapons and military clothing. 

 

That is my guess

[darksteeljorge 96]

Those are hot points, I love them.

I rarely ever see anyone at Balota, and the NEAF is so small that everything is gone within ~30 minutes of a server start.

Milsurp is very popular for hunters,hobbyists,campers,survivalists as it is cheaper and in some cases better than civilian counter parts.

people arent gonna walk 10km to the south west if its not worth it

Dress uniforms and PT gear yes, but I'm in month 3 of wearing OCPs (mulicams) non stop and find them pretty comfy.

im not feeling the mood of chenarus ruined at all, i think its fien as it is, why not just play their game and let them make the map how they think is best.

how we use the map and play the game now, is not how it will be used and played by the time the game is fully developed.

OCPs are extremely comfortable, as is moat military uniforms. The most comfortable I wore was the 3-Color Desert, they felt like jeans almost. Buy the OCPs are good for what it is. I just hate the damn velcro, too noisy. I miss the 4 pockets from the BDU/DCUs. Sorry, off topic.

[a_ruttle 199]

Krasnostav and Balota Airstrips should be a grass civilian airstrips and NWAF was supposed to be an international airport [no terminal building] in arma 2 i thought

rare huh?  you must be from a liberal place.  Almost everyone I know in my suburb of Phoenix that has 400k people has hunting camo, and most have assault rifles.  And Russia is far more dangerous of a place than the US. 

[benedictus 160]

Less military clothes and/or more civilian clothes.

 

Full orange outfit > military camo.

You can't legally own powerful guns as automatic rifles and guns with more than ten-cartridge capacity in Russia as a civilian. Civilian's guns categories usually are self defence - pistols, hunting - rifles, and sport guns. Other is police and military stuff.

 

I would put small pistols everywhere; hunting rifles, bows, crossbows in countryside; police pistols and shotguns in police stations and automatic rifles, grenades etc. in military outposts, bases, crashsites but very rare. It would be more realistic for that kind of country.

I would really love to see the military gear get spread out more... besides the fact that it gets old to have to run all the way to a military base to get good gear, it seems to me that the military would be crawling all over this place trying to contain the infection. I know they plan to give zombies loot - hopefully the military zeds will have military loot. They could also have randomly placed broken military vehicles with possible loot spawns.

 

On that note, I think there are two good ideas they should implement:

 

1. Random road blocks similar to heli crash sites.  They could pick a dozen or so places on the map where these could spawn and they would have decent military drops.  It makes sense that the military would block major roads or even minor ones if they thought it would contain the infection to a particular town. These wouldn't even be that hard to implement.. they would just set up 2 military vehicles and a couple of tank traps in a formation and then pick a few random spawn points.

 

2. A quarantined city.  I think it would be _phenomenal_ if the developers made one of the small towns on the map randomly be quarantined.  Again it would be like the crashed helo sites, random on server reset, but there are dozens of those small cities all over the map, and it would be awesome to stumble on a town in the middle of nowhere that appears to be the starting place for the infection.  I know this one would be a bit of work, but I also think it would be awesome.

Pretty sure they said something about scenery. They have to optimize the game well before they can really add scenery. Although I do agree, it's very bland everywhere.

[blunce 991]

I was skeptical when reading the title, but after giving it a little bit of thought I like it. I would want to keep NWAF the way it is, & change NEAF & Bolota to more "civilian-esc" styled airfields.

Everyone and their mother has camo. Why would it all of a sudden not be around once zeds hit?
