Roshi (DayZ) 397 Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Seeing as Chernarus is coastal, might be a nice map feature to add some disused WWII bunkers/gun emplacements (minus the artillery) on a few elevated spots along the coast line, maybe with the odd tunnel/limited underground structure.

Rags! 1966 Posted November 22, 2014 I'd loot that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrubbie_mcnoob 136 Posted November 22, 2014 In Napier (east coast, north island, New Zealand) there are these awesome low profile gun emplacements ex WWII, nothing like what Rags posted, but still awesome historical sites. They have long been secured to prevent druggies and vandals (aka teenagers) from entering, so I'd imagine Chernarus would have done a similar thing. Also been a shit load of time since WWII, so any loot, especially anything iron based so close to nice moist sea air would be pretty much fucked corroded. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes please! Reminds me of the one in the 1970 film Stone, if anyone's seen it, where a biker gang takes up residence, on the coastlinehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_(1974_film)#mediaviewer/File:1Middleheadfortress0048.JPG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stielhandgranate 480 Posted November 23, 2014 I'd love to see some of these rusting in the forests on long treks. Maybe a good idea, clump them all together with some T-34 and Su-series tank husks WW2 era highway of death to make a unique location on the map: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some historical sights might be a nice touch and add some verity to the landscape. For example going by Arma2 lore, the mountain east of chernogorsk across the bay, used to be warning post against pirates raids in medieval times and now used as tourist site. There is nothing there, but it would be nice there was, it doesn't have to have loot just something to encourage\reward exploration.

Personally, I think that every kind of detail adds and it doesn't have to be WW2 tank, simple play grounds will do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
