Argent_LeRoche 13 Posted August 5, 2012 Ok my two cents.The NATO standard weapons I can live with although I think the Makarov SD is a sorely needed addition to the game.The PDW I would have no problem seeing removed but as it is I see no real reason why.The Lee-Enfield should be replaced with the Mosin Nagant. And the Winchester should be yanked out but only because they are the two IMO most out of place weapons.The RPG-7 would make a hell of a lot more sense to have in game.And OP the Double-Barreled Shotgun is a great weapon when you treat it right.

Maroite 48 Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Current list of weapons in DayZ VS The equivalents that would suit the game better (and included in ARMA II)Pistols:G17 -> G17 (Need a flashlight pistol)M9 -> RemovedM9SD -> Makarov SDM1911 -> M1911 (Available Worldwide)Makarov -> MakarovPDW -> RemovedRevolver -> Revolver (Quite common weapons)LMGM240 -> PechenegM249 -> RPK 74MK48 -> PKMShotgunsDouble Barrelled Shotgun -> Double Barrelled Shotgun (If anyone uses it)Winchester -> RemovedM1014 -> Saiga (From semi but fast rate to automatic seems ok to me)870 MCS -> 870 MCS (Flashlight, no available equivalent, and quipe possible for law enforcement)SMGsBizon PP-19 SD -> Bizon PP19 SDMP5A5 -> MP5A5 (Still possible, even though unlikely... I'd remove it)MP5SD6 -> Bizon PP-19 (non SD)Assault RiflesAK-74 -> AK-74AKM -> AKMAKS-74 Kobra -> AKS-74 KobraFN FAL -> FN FAL (I'd remove them, but there is no equivalent)FN FAL AN/PVS 4 -> FN FAL AN/PVS 4 (I'd remove them, but there is no equivalent)L85A2 AWS -> L85A2 AWS (I'd remove them, but there is no equivalent)Lee Enfield -> Mosin nagant (Not in game, but would it be logical...)M4A1 -> M4A1 (If foreign intervention)M4A1 CCO -> AK-107 KobraM4A1 CCO SD -> AKS-74 UN KobraM4A1 Holo -> M4A1 HOLO (If foreign intervention)M4A3 CCO -> AK-107 GL PSO M16A2 -> AK-47M16A2 M203 -> AK-107 GL KobraM16A4 ACOG -> AK-107 PSO Sniper RiflesAS-50 -> KSVK (basically the same thing)Cz 550 -> Cz550DMR -> SVD (not camo)M14 AIM -> VSS Vintorez (From a close range sniper to a medium range automatic SD, with either 10 or 20 rounds mags)M24 -> Removed (Enough with SVD)M107 -> Removed (Enough with the KSVK)SVD Camo -> SVD CamoRocket Launchers:M136 -> RPG7VJust wanted to know if people found any fault to this.I thought most of the military rifles came from the fact that Chernarus was a warzone right before the outbreak - relief forces from other countries brought and lost/left those weapons. So I find no fault with the way the weapons are now. It's completely believable.It would personally effect my game play if you removed either the M4 or M16 variants as these are my weapons of choice and no AK can compare imho.Edit: Coalition forces don't go to war with 1 varient of M4 and one variant of MP5. If anything US troops would be carrying a variety of M4/M16 rifles. British forces would use the SA80 (LA85A2) Edited August 5, 2012 by Maroite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuzerre 64 Posted August 6, 2012 The fact remains that there are more "Foreign" weapons than "Local" ones! Why are there SD version of occidental weapons when there are non for eastern variants? Why isn't there one anti-materiel rile for each side? High tech eastern stuff and no AK-107? Why is it impossible to find one of the many and prolific RPG7s, but the high cost M136 just laying around?There is not a single Russin LMG. 0/3There is only one Russian sniper rifle, and one Czech out of 7. 2/7.There is only one local pistol. 1/7There is only one "Could be" local shotgun, and a completely fantasy one. 0.5/4Only one SMG that's local. 1/3Only three AK variants, and they even deal the least damage out of all assault rifles: 3/12!No anti-vehicle. 0/1Even if chernarus was under an invasion during the outbreak, that's 7.5 ou of 37 weapons that aren't local, two completely fantasy ones (winchester, lee enfield), Two to three categories of weapons that don't even have one representant, and apart from the camo SVD for snipers and the AKM if you want to waste rounds on more targets, not one of those weapons has an interesting feature that would make it interesting over "Foreign" weaponry. No silenced, no high damage, no more plentiful ammunition, nothing.If I had a list of must add weapons out here, it would be:- Makarov SD. Silenced pistol, much needed.- One of the LMGs. Pechneg would be great.- Saiga. That's flavour for you!- AKs-74 UN Kobra- AK-107 PSO- AK-107 GL Cobra- KSVK- VSS- RPG7At least those would offer "Alternatives" to "Made in US" series.

Dramatic Exit 62 Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Chernerus is supposed to be the Czech republic right? So why aren't there any CZ75's?The Czech Republic is totally landlocked. I believe chernarus is supposed to be somewhere on the Black Sea.I think some of the inland topography in chernarus is modeled on some place in the czech republic though.
