Introduce the AK-107 and AKS-74UN

[amaROenuZ 144]

Pretty simple, right now in DayZ, we have the M line of assault rifles, and the AK line.Both spawn in the same loot spots, both have the same effective range, ammo capacity, and noise level. The problem is, right now the AK line is almost wholly inferior to the M line. There's less variety, they have lower damage. They have no silenced options, and higher recoil. Other than the AKM, a rather unique weapon, there's not a whole lot of reason to use one.

This is easily rectified. The AK-107 features a nice high rate of fire and relatively low recoil, which compensates for the lower damage of the weapon. Adding the AK-107 would also add some level of parity to the available variants of each weapon, given how much more common the M variants are. Adding the AKS-74UN would give the AK variants access to SD ammo and improve their usefulness in populated areas.

AK-74u, AK-74, AK-74 Kobra, AK-107, AK-107 GL, AK-107 PSO, AK107 GL PSO, AKS-74UN: 3 weapons now, 8 weapons projected

M4A1, M4A1 CCO, M4A1 CCO SD, M1A3 CCO, M4A1 Holo, M16A2, M16M203, M16A4: 8 weapons now.

Best of all, it's an easy change. All of the files are already in the game. All it takes is a little modification on the loot tables.

I agree to have a larger variety of AK's for sure!

I'll support it. I just feel gimped when i round a corner and am face to face with an M4 to my Kobra.

[grylsyjaeger 171]

I agree. More Russian kit, please!

I don't see why there are so many Western weapons in the mission, when Chernarus is by design a Warsaw-Pact theatre.

That happens when western boys want to play a eastern bloc themed game. They don't want to lose their beloved equipment :D

Thumbs down, this game needs fewer military items. What we need is more civilian weapons.

What about VZ-58? A nice kick in that weapon :D
