Arsenal - Weapon skins should be like vehicle skins
New, NormalPublic

Description

Hi there, with 4000 hours in Arma 3, I have noticed that there could be a few things to change in the base game. But i'll only talk about the "Arsenal", this could use a bit of work including weapons. The weapons in the arsenal with the same rifle are separated by color, unlike the vehicles where there is a vehicle type and a few different paint jobs for it. There should be a single weapon, for example, "MX 6.5" "Spar 16 5.56" "Rahim 7.62" so on, then have the different skins available to change too. This is how the vehicles are designed with the spray can icon in arsenal. Having that spray can for weapons would greatly make the arsenal a more friendly and straight forward way of use. This would also allow the modding community to not have hundreds of the same weapons, just different colors.

I also have a idea branching off of the paint, this being having the gun be customizable with those tabs. This might bring more personality to guns and the battlefield in general, for example; having a standard "SPAR" then having different tabs with "Stocks" "Barrels" "Handguards" "underbarrel attachments" so on. That is a bit much too ask for but its still a great idea in my book. So the main point of this post is for the paint for the weapons.

I feel this would clear up the arsenal clutter alot and feel more streamline with the rest of the game. Not only would Eden editors could just place a "MX" down but they would right click it and change the parameters inside.

I know of some issues that this might cause including how infantry might spawn with the right or wrong weapon when first implemented - This would be fixed with devs and time, confusion when first implemented into the game with Eden editor/other editors - players will get use to it, some maps might be broken at first, and or other patches that are unknown - this has to do with any major patch that changes the game.

In conclusion, adding these simple tabs in the arsenal would greatly increase the possibilities for the Arma community and make the game even more enjoyable. Thanks for the amazing years of Arma, and if I could help in anyway, its my pleasure.
