Restore First Aid Kits To 6 Slots

[FredKing27 2]

I just recently got back into playing this game and I was upset by a change with First Aid Kits only carrying 4 slots when they take up 4 slots I think this really makes no point in having the first aid kit other than for neatness sake.  First aid kits keep medical items neater therefore items would use space more efficiently and thus take up less space so it is realistic.  I think first aid kits should be restored to carrying 6 items.

I agree, the first aid kit worked better before. If you think about it there are two ways of looking at it. On one hand there is realism. Realistically you could put whatever you want in the med kit, and as a simulator DayZ does need to consider realism. But on the other hand there is the issue of functionality. As you explained, there is no real benefit of carrying one as it does not give any extra space for medical supplies. I have thought of a potential solution that takes both factors into account. So, the normal capacity of the first aid kit would stay four slots. However these slots have a special property. Every two slots that you fill with medical slots will add another medical-only slot. So for example, adding a splint, two stacks of bandages, a saline bag and morphine, or any other combination will add another slot, and adding a defibrillator will add two more slots. This way the first aid kit is still a more efficient way to carry medical supplies, and you can still store non-medical items as you could in real life. A similar system could be implemented for the ammo box as well.
