Stop gear drop when in water.

[BL1P 252]

When your in a boat if the server crashes or if your client disconnects you end up in the water.

And loose all your gear.

Could you not make it so that you DO NOT loose gear in the water if you connect in the water ?

This has happened to me so many times that I don't even use boats anymore

[Littlenorwegians 3]

Yeah. Losing your gear in the wayer is just silly and has to be a bug.

i want a boat =(

Its not a bug, its part of Arma 2 for some reason. And I agree it is REALLY stupid and should be removed.

[Disgraced 1123]

The argument is that you can't swim with your gear, so you drop it all..

Seems kind of lame to me, but ok....

arma2 should have option to choose to drop gear or to drown

as far as I know, its a bug... its not intended

Try to swim with fully loaded backpack and rifle on your arm. Not mention a pistol with ammo and pockets full of cans and magazines.

It realistic and decent system.

Wanna swim?

Leave your stuff behind.

Try carrying around 5 unrefrigerated blood packs, and then administering them without a needle, and without knowing what blood type the pack is or what blood type the patient is. There are tons of unrealistic things in this game, many of them are contrivances for gameplay purposes.

Realism is not an argument for a feature. The current swimming system has to go.

He is saying for as long as a server crash will result in someone in a boat losing their gear upon reconnection, the feature should be removed.

he really needs to fix this lost my gear 4 times from server crasing in a boat and lost all my gear from the camo clothing glitch three times fix it now!

Obviously, all survivors are universal blood receivers (type AB). It's part of the genetic phenotype that made them immune to the infection.

Still, I wouldn't want a blood transfusion that has been in someone's smelly backpack for 3 sunny days and a rainy night. :)

ON TOPIC: The gear drop is stupid - at least it shouldn't drop all at once. And you can swim pretty well with a backpack, especially in the sea.

Option to drop or gradually drown would be good.
