Flare and Chemlight attachment points

[macscottie 70]

Instead of being held in your hand directly in front of your face where they blind you, how about making the chemlights and flares attach either to your shoulder or to your belt(my vote goes to a belt attachment point)?

For ArmA veterans, this is how ACE treats Chemlights and it works fairly well(even if they're not for light in ACE, they're for identification).

edit: I forgot to add - Since everyone in Day Z wears a tac vest, the attachment point could also be on the vest.

Why not add vest flash lights too?

I'm 100% down with that. The way ArmA handles flashlights is pretty bad. You can never keep them pointed forward when you really need to. It would realistically take about 10 seconds for someone with an IQ above 80 and all the tactical gear our characters have to rig their flashlight to their belt or vest.

i started a thread about this a couple days ago...i couldnt find one already started and then i accidently stumble on this one, I agree totally on the chem light placement.

Or just in you hand put hold them parallel to your gun instead of like a spaz.
