Here's the list of currently banned/blocked vehicles, I'd like people opinions on which should be unblocked (if any) and why:

"A10" - Jet
"AH1Z" - Heli
"AH64D" - Heli
"T90" - Tank
"F35B" - Jet
"AV8B2" - Jet
"UH1Y" - Heli
"Mi24_V" - Heli
"Mi24_P" - Heli
"Mi24_D" - Heli
"KA52" - Heli
"KA52Black" - Heli
"SU39" - Jet
"Su25_CDF" - Jet
"SU25_Ins" - Tank
"A10_US_EP1" - Jet
"AH64D_EP1" - Heli
"M1A1" - Tank
"M1A1_TUSK_MG"
"T72" - Tank
"T72_INS" - Tank
"T72_RU" - Tank
"T72_CDF" - Tank
"T72_Gue" - Tank
"BMP3" - Tank
"MLRS" - Tank
"T34" - Tank
"2S6M_Tunguska" - Tank

Tanks + Jets are unlikely to be unbanned but heli's are up for debate.

Zombies
Personally, I like having them disabled. It's considerably less hassle. I'd like to hear from other players (mostly public players, not other Admins) what they think of Zombies.

I say NO jets or tanks at all, some choppers if they aint to op.

Whoever was in the Admin Menu's last has unbanned every vehicle except the AV8B2.

I'll fix that.

my guess would be eddie..

i second that guess

Looks like the developer of Overwatch has banned quite a few vehicles too:

pastebin.com/em71cdA8 (CfgVehicles.hpp)

I'll dig through the Overwatch files tomorrow and figure out how to unban the "normal" Epoch stuff like the C130J and such.

UPDATE: FUCK YOU OVERWATCH, WHO'S DA MAN.


(I'll unban the rest in the morning.)

i unbanned all vehicles through the AH.file in an attempt to maybe let me spawn in jets/tanks for my personal use... not for everyone... figured the harrier jet would be the least used jet so i left that 1 there ... and hope to also let vehicles available at traders to spawn when purchased... but it didnt work but looks like dy3 gots it going to where it should be

-suggestions...
1.ADD ZoneAlfa.sqf, ADD loot boxes, similar to what was at NWAF FOB, scatter around in the zone not all in one spot..add INASANE amounts of WAI about 50+ish result make that the new FOB
2.Salvage modification to remove every part(engine,fueltank,scrapmetal)
3.Wrecks with Loot
4. R3F Tow & Lift with only Chinook classnames, Merlin classnames, Mi17 classnames
5.No Tow on locked vehicles
6.No Salvage on locked vehicles
7.Vehicle Master Key
8.EVAC Chopper

feel free to speak against some of these if u like feedback is always welcomed

i got files to all of these.. if u want them let me know unless u want to find them on ur own and do it ur way.. if thats the case ill jsut stop trying to help
i got zone alpha, but not the zone alpha with loot boxes

I'm adding things in slowly.
The more AI and buildings added the worse the server performance.
Gotta find the right balance.

I'll add AI to the NWAF later tonight as it's too easy to raid and profit from at the moment.

Regarding the banned vehicles, I think the inclusion of the huge Russian Death Machine heli's would be a little OP.

However, the Apache and similar forward-firing helis are another matter. There are already heli's in game where a fellow player can man the guns, but there's just something about having the ability to team up and have an independent gunner/weapon operator that just quite...cool. Plus, the Apache is easily the best looking heli in the game

One of the problems I can foresee for any air vehicle of any power is that there would be nothing to balance it out. The shoulder launched SAM's help, but the chance that someone is going to carry one around with them 'just in case' is slim-to-none.

An option would be to add an anti-air vehicle of some kind at a very similar (high) price-point.

You would also run into the problem of heli-bombing as the server matures. I pity the first person to get an Apache, take care of it, use it as it's intended and then log in one day to discover some jealous/butthurt player has managed to find their base and pile a Little Bird into their pride and joy. ( Off topic, but to combat heli-bombing, I once actually manually built a base that was large enough for 3 Merlin's and was completely enclosed with a high 'letterbox' to enter and exit by.....looked cool, not practical at all and downright dangerous trying to maneuver in...)

As for zombies, yep...they are a pain in the rear. But they are also an integral part of the game. If you get rid of zombies, then DayZ turns into nothing more than a highly realistic version of Counter Strike deathmatch.

Just my thoughts.
