One of 2 things could've/would've occurred, first, when you're still in the server as it goes down for a restart or crash(server crash), your character and whatever he's interacting with usually gets rolled back in time slightly, normally unnoticed while on foot, but if traveling at 50kmh, your Vic is usually a few hundred meters behind you on your traveled path. Secondly, and possibly more likely since you were playing on Official, the server went down while you were driving, you left/were kicked moments before the server actually goes down, and your Vic kept on keeping on..... and driving in official, with the complete lack of attention given by the devs to increasing the Vic's resistance to damage that wouldn't even dent a real Vic causing them to destroy themselves....it probably hit a chicken crossing the road at a measley 20kmh and blew up (joking, they still haven't returned lighting a match to the fuel to explode Vic's) and despawned. (Still probably destroyed itself going 20kmh, just wasn't in a glorious ball of fire and area destruction, just itself and your gear)

See we're getting a couple new purses.... exciting 🙄

Oh, and we still can't even boil our rice....
Point being.... have you seen the cooking update Scum has given their players? They can find and loot an assortment of different cookbooks, find and loot an assortment of different plants, fruits, veggies, sugar, flour, salt, pepper, garlic, butter, oils, bacon, everything, animals....plus their horticulture and farming system....but then they have different gas and battery powered ovens and hot plates, and can cook a whole bunch of different dishes.... from teas, coffees, eggs, lasagna, steaks and kabobs, casseroles, literally dozens and dozens of things with all these different ingredients they can find, loot, grow, hunt ECT.....

@WeirdXone
I disagree about the LMG'S, I believe they can be added in such a way to make them rare enough on vanilla and or official, weight, sway(without bipods, which is easily enough to add, the modding community has already had them working forever now), wear...there are things that can be done to balance their use.... and even on heavily modded servers, most people don't run LMG'S, at most they run battle rifles like SA58's/FAL's with appropriate 50rd drums.

I think its important to keep balance in mind for some things too though. For example you mentioned the utes island. In my opinion that would be a bad addition for Chernarus. It puts a lot more emphasis on the coast, it pushes more geared players to the coast and pushes the "end game" in the total wrong direction, right back to freshie towns. This is already a problem in vanilla with too many people hanging around the coast, especially with rify shipwreck being toxic now it already has become worse in that regard.

Also things like the M249 and PKM...do we really want that? I mean...the PKM shoots 7.62x54mmR...that's mosin ammo, at 600 rpm in full auto with a huge magazine capacity...I doubt that would be a good thing to add.

It's also important to keep in mind that the current DayZ Engine just has limits, the server performance also has limits. They spent so long trying to get the cars to be stable and they are still pretty bad even on the lower pop 60 slot official servers. Imagine how a helicopter would fit into that?

I understand your points and frustration, but there is a lot more backend limitations and / or thinking behind these things. It's not as simple as just "add the plane" ya know?

However I do agree that the content over the last 8 months has been poor. In general there hasn't been anything "game changing" in a long time now.

I also do think they have some cool stuff lined up for the future though.
