DayZ Vehicles MEGATHREAD

[Damnyourdeadman 1045]

This is a copy-pasted version of the "DayZ Vehicle Megathread" from Reddit.

With the permission of the creator,i took the liberty of moving his topic on the Official Forums.

This is by far the most interesting,extensive and sizable DayZ vehicle suggestion list,i had the pleasure of reading.

I hope you appreciate it,as much as i do! :)

 

Since developers announced that vehicles were being worked on, here is a revised and comprehensive list of vehicle models that would properly fit in DayZ environment:

 

Сivillian Cars

 

VAZ-2101 Жигули “Копейка”  Production: 1970–1988 (Source) : aka “Coin/Penny” because of the characteristic round frontlights

 

VAZ -2106 "Шестерка"  Production: 1976-2001 (Source) : aka 'Sixth'

 

VAZ -2107 "Семерка"  Production: 1982– present (Source) : aka 'number 7'

 

VAZ -2108/2109 ''Зубило'' Production: 1984–2003 (Source) : aka 'Сhisel', is one of the modern ones.It would be a wet dream for local hoodlums from Prigorodki or Cherno outskirts.Gopniki in all post-soviet area simply adore this car. Pure ‘class’.Don't forget to put your track suit pants, leather shoes and thick leather jacket on.Get a knife, bat or at least a screwdriver, hop in with your pal and circle around your city district to find someone who simply doesn't belong there...

 

ZAZ -965  Production 1960–1969 (Source) (Wiki) : Behold a crown jewel of Soviet car production, the fabulous Ukrainian Zaporozhec', produced in Zaporizhzhya.

 

ZAZ -966 a newer Zaporozhec'  Production: 1966-1972 (Source) : The former is called 'Горбатий' or 'Brokeback/Humpbacked'.The latter is just 'Zapor' or 'Constipation'. What a beauty. Every Chernorussian grandpa should drive this as it was generously provided by the beloved government due to his disabilities after war in Takistan 20 years ago. The unstoppable senior veterans, they endure post-soviet hardships and still breach! No Cherno trafic light could stop them!

 

Moskvitch Москвич-408/412/Москвич-Комби  Production 1964—1976 as Moskvich (Source) : An alternative to ЗАЗ that grandpa uses to transport potatoes from his 'dacha' (decrepit suburban private house with a garden) to a marketplace.

 

Москвич-407 and Москвич-423  Production: 1956—1965 (Source) : were resilient cabbage carriers.

 

Moskvitch 2141  Production: 1998-2003 (Source) : newer Moskvitch, still used for the same purpose.

Because you can't escape the reputation, even after the hull upgrade and redesign... go on, load potatoes and beetroots into the trunk.

All 3 of GAZ Volga models that are listed below were hard to get and object of much envy. Most of them nowadays are just regular junk.

 

Gaz-21 Volga  Production: 1956–1970 (Source)

 

Gaz-24 Volga  Production: 1970-1985 (Source) [CONFIRMED] : the one we have in DayZ so far, as a police car 

 

Gaz-3102 Volga Production: 1982–2009 (Source) : the most modern of three, considered to be a luxury car back in mid and late 90's.

 

Gaz M-20 ГАЗ-М-20  Production: 1949–1958 (Source) : ''Pobeda'' (''Victory'') a rival to Gaz-21 in terms of soviet luxury.

Chernorussian grandpa still keeps this one in his garage:

 

VAZ-2121 "Niva" Production: 1977–present (Source) [CONFIRMED] : "Нива", or "Cropfield" a beloved civilian off-roader.

It still is very popular now, but was really hard to obtain 20 years ago. A mandatory car for Chernarus.

 

Buses in Chernarus should be represented by:

 

Laz-695  Production: 1957-1958 (Source) (Wiki): The most popular and wide spread soviet bus.

 

Laz-4202  Production: 1978-1993 (Source) : his successor.

 

PAZ-672  Produced: 1968-1989 (Source) (Wiki) : these things, most of which were painted yellow, could be spotted everywhere.

 

As well as next one,

 

PAZ-3205  Production: 1989-present (Source) : both were typical means of commute within the city limits.

 

KAvZ-685  Production: 1973–1993 (Source)

 

ZIS-155 Production: 1949-1957 (Source) : an old-school from 50's, still around

 

Ikarus-280  Production: 1971-1997 (Source) [CONFIRMED] : that's the bus that is in DayZ mod, this actually was higher-class type bus. A trip in Ikarus = luxurious trip in Soviet mind. 

 

LiAZ-677 Production: 1967–1996 (Source) : Squeeze yourself with a hundred other poor souls into this crowded coffin. When the infection broke out those must have been ‘party’ buses indeed!

 

Сivillian Trucks typical Chernorussian models:

 

ZIL-130 Production: 1964-1994 1995-2010 (Source) : there should be no Chernorussian city or town without this truck.

 

GAZ-53 Production: 1961-1993 (Source) : a lighter one, but used just as widely.

Notice a milk cistern, bread truck, fish and sewage-sanitation vehicles based on this one.This truck is as soviet as soviet can be.

Bringing fresh and hot bread to the bread store early in the morning.

Collecting milk in KOLXOZ at dawn.They sold fish from their water tanks at the marketplace. And sprayed water at dawn upon desolate summer city streets...

 

Kamaz-5511/5320/5325 Production: 1976-2000 (Source) : and others. Камаз doesn't even need a description. The heavy working horse of Soviet industry!

 

MAZ-504 Production: 1965-1970 (Source) : his counterpart.

 

BELAZ Production: 1961-1971 (Source) : Various models of quarry monsters.

An old soviet joke is that you shouldn't be afraid of anything on the road when driving Kamaz. Unless you ever encounter Belaz.

 

Medical/Paramedical Emergency vehicles:

 

RAF-977И Production: 1958-1976 (Source) : I'd love to see these torn to shreds somewhere around Cherno hospital.

 

GAZ-22 Production: 1962-1970 (Source) (Wiki)

 

RAF-2914 Production: 1976—1997 (Source) : the most popular one, pure classic.

 

UAZ-3962 Production: 1965-present (Source) : served in rural areas

 

Here are some other special purpose cars:

 

Firetrucks:

 

Zil-157 firetruck Production: 1958-1966,1966-1994 (Source) : pretty ancient one, but still remains functioning and serves in rural areas.

 

Zil-131 firetruck Production: 1995-2010 (Source) : basic vehicle in a fire department.

 

Those were supplemented by firetrucks based on other soviet workhorse,

 

Zil-130 Production: 1964-1994 1995-2010 (Source)

 

and heavier ones,

 

Ural-4320 Production: 1977-present (Source)

 

МАЗ-543 Production: 1967-1983 (Source) : true monsters, confined mostly to airfields, a rare find elsewhere

 

Military Trucks:

 

Regarding military trucks. I don't want to stress here, but these mentioned below are absolutely essential.

Many of them got into civilian hands and after some modifications its conversions serve as lumber transporters, buses in highlands, etc.

 

GAZ-66 Production: 1985-1996 (Source) : Superb off-road capabilities. If there was a military unit around - this thing was there.

Most of them were somewhat modified and are widely used today in mountainous areas by local population.

 

Zil-131 Production: 1967-1994 (Source) : used for lumber theft nowadays.

 

Ural-4320 Production: 1977-present (Source) : At least we've got this one in DayZ mod! The thing goes everywhere. Literally.

 

KRaZ-255Б Production: 1967–1994 (Source) : even bigger Ukrainian monster

 

KAMAZ 4326,4310,6350 Production: 1976-2000 (Source) : these, along with Urals are main military trucks nowadays, that still in operation, not just storage.

 

MAZ-543 Production: 1965-1976 (Source) : the beast

 

MAZ-537 Production: 1959-1965 (Source) : former one's predecessor.

 

Now, to shift focus from military and semi-military trucks, these are few of the most popular vans.

 

Soviet Vans:

 

UAZ-452  Production in: 1965-1985(upgraded) (Source) (Wiki) : 'Буханка' or 'Bread loaf'. This one is literally everywhere.

 

РАФ-2203 Production: 1976–1997 (Source) : hearing the word 'van' is USSR implied you were picturing this in your head.

 

ЕрАЗ-762 Production: 1967-1996 (Source) : also very popular, but adjusted to carry goods.

 

Soviet-style small SUV’s, Jeeps and Off-Roaders:

 

ЛуАЗ-969 ''Волинянка'', Production: 1979-1992 (Source) : a ''Girl from Volyn" this weird thing actually is a great off-roader, particularly popular in villages.

 

УАЗ-469 Production: 1971–present (Source) : much beloved SUV from DayZ mod. No need for introduction. *Special notice though - this should be one of standard-issue police vehicles.

 

Gaz-69 Production: 1953-1972 (Source) : is an older one, still can be found in rural areas.

 

And of course, Lada Niva, which has already been mentioned above.

 

Motorcycles:

 

Ява Jawa Production: 1954-1992 (Source) : made in Czechoslovakia, best available soviet light motorbike

 

Ural Урал М-67-36 Production 1976-1983 (Source) : and other models were heavy, also used by road police.

And check out those sweet sidecars! There were others, like Иж Планета, Юпитер 4-5, Dnipro Днепр

 

Tractors and Crop Harvesters:

 

Т-25 Production: 1945 - 1948 (Source) : A much beloved tractor from DayZ mod

 

And these are his bigger brethren, from smaller to largest:

 

DT-75 Production: 1949-1963 (Source)

 

T-4A Production: 1964-1970 (Source)

 

К-700 Production: 1962 - 2000 (Source)

 

T-130 Production: 1969-1988 (Source) (Wiki)

 

My personal favorites, tractor-bus-offroader hybrids. Simply the best in swampy areas:

 

ATC-59 and ATC-59Г Production: 1960-1989 (Source)

 

And these should be found rusting on Chernarus crop fields:

 

SK-5 Niva Production:  1940–1960 (Source)

 

SK-6 Kolos Production: 1974-1979 (Source)

 

UPD1.

 

Czech Cars,obviously...

 

Škoda 1203 Production: 1968-Present (Source)

 

Škoda 105, 120, Garde/Rapid Production: 1976–1990 (Source)

 

Tatra 148 and Tatra 138 Production 1972-1982 (Source)

 

Tatra 815 Production: 1983 - present (Source)

 

Škoda 706 LIAZ Production: 1946-1951 (Source) : Czech truck, assembled in Eastern Germany. Exported into all Soviet block countries with much success.

 

Praga V3S Production: 1953-1985 (Source)  [CONFIRMED]

 

These are the most prominent Czech vehicles that would fit the scenery.

Regarding concerns of somewhat 'more modern' Russian-made vehicles: the main point is that they don't really change the production line that often

(means that car with same looks might be produced for tens of years and many of those on the list are still in production).

 

There are few 'new' typical Russian cars, though:

 

Газ-3302 2705, etc ''Gazel'' Production: 1994-2010 (Source) : super-popular van used for literally everything possible

 

ГАЗ-3307 Production: 1989–current (Source) : basically a modernized GAZ-53 truck

 

UPD2.

 

Here you go, the East-German, Polish and Romanian. GDR was pumping them out like hot buns and sending all over the Eastern block.

 

Trabant 1957–1990 (East Germany) (Source) : Plastic car with 26HP engine. Soviet citizens drooled over this imported vehicle.

 

Wartburg 311 and Wartburg 353 Production: 1966 — 1988 (Source)

 

Barkas B1000 Production: 1961-1989 (Source) : another East-German. An extremely popular van.

 

Robur LO1800 Production: 1960-1967 (Source) : GDR-made truck. Multiple modifications, ubiquitous usage.

Maluch Polish Fiat P126 Production: 1972-1980 (Source) : aka 'a little one' was Polish gem in the Eastern block.

 

FSC Żuk and FSC Nysa Production: 1958 - 1998 (Source) : Communist Polish vans.

 

Tarpan 239D Production: 1973 - 1994 (Source) : 'Polish Toyota Hilux' a tough pickup.

UPDATE 1 : Added each Vehicle's Production Date and Information Source.

 

The majority of sources are linked to the specified vehicle's main Wikipedia page.

There were a few exceptions where Wikipedia didn't provide the manufacturing date,so i linked a different Webpage Source.

 

Nevertheless i revisited these few exceptions and added the Wikipedia link along with the Source.

A very small portion of the provided Wikipedia Sources were in Foreign Languages (Russian,Czech,Ukrainian etc.)

 

I plan on editing the respected English Wikipedia Sources in the near future.

 

UPDATE 2 : Made Paragraphs and tweaked the Text's Letter Size and Fonts to improve readability.

Added a Main Index List for easier information access.

 

I will be Creating Polls in the near Future.

This is a Chance to Show Your Support for the MEGATHREAD!!!

[Steak and Potatoes 13480]

Its glorious, also thank you as I tend to steer clear of the /r/gaming/pile/stuffz.

[svisketyggeren 662]

Why are all the cars from the 70s?

Edited February 9, 2015 by svisketyggeren

[HarryPotter (DayZ) 172]

it would be cool to be able to customise a car... if you could find parts to upgrade the engine etc.. paint it etc

[Axezeroone 56]

golf 1 2 & 3 is what i'd love to see aswell :)

[Damnyourdeadman 1045]

Why are all the cars from the 70s?

 

One can argue that "older" vehicles fit the setting of the game better. :)

Most of these were common around the Soviet Era.

With the help of a little research,i will post in this comment about every vehicle's production date.

And who knows...maybe i will edit the information later in the post. :)

One can argue that "older" vehicles fit the setting of the game better. :)

Most of these were common around the Soviet Era.

 

And what are the arguments for having cars from the soviet era when the game is set in modern times?

 

Because they fit the setting? Since the game is set in modern times I would say cars from the 70s dont fit the setting at all.

Some are newer while some are older but nevertheless,imho they fit the setting pretty well.

But that's a matter of opinion,despite that fact i'm planning to enrich the list with vehicle models suggested and voted by the community.

I'll make sure the topic continually evolves into something bigger and better than it's current form.

I agree.. I'm all for older cars and whatever else, I think the list is magical tho I only viewed it briefly due too sleep time.

Thats nice of you to post the reddit thingo deadman, nice choice and I'm going to check it out some more soon.

Thank you,i really appreciate it!

Seeing this thread's pure awesomeness,i wanted to share the original creator's hopes of making the devs aware of his list.

With the recent tweaks,now it's easier and more fun to read. :)

I really hope it receives the attention it deserves...

I've heard that the game is set in a fictional soviet place. I don't know if I'm wrong about that. But if it is, then the cars fits perfectly. And in my opinion they do either way since, and this is facts, the game is set in a place were the people were very poor. But as Damnyourdeadman said. It's about the personal opinion :)

[netzzwerg 9]

What I've gone through so far looks pretty good and very fitting indeed :D

 

Totally fits the direction the VS3 opened up for the DayZ vehicle style!

Sure u can have a personal preference...but to a certain extent we need to have all the other stuff/items ingame fit the same era. It would be weird to have cars from the 70s and have other gear that are clearly from present times.

UPDATE!
 
I will be creating a poll in the near future.
The ones that receive the most upvotes,will be added in the list.
Here's a list of a few modern...

Preferably i'm looking for models manufactured from early 90s to early 20s.

Thank you in advance. :)

Whilst I love a lot of these vehicles, don't forget that Chernarussia is a fictional former soviet bloc country that gained independence in 1991 and is not stuck in a time warp. We don't know when the game is supposed to be set, but those countries who were behind the iron curtain have all long since moved on - in Bohemia's lore for the country, they've been mostly run under a capitalist government.

 

That's not to say that a lot of these things don't still exist, but a quick google search shows that countries like Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia and other Black Sea countries (the "Green Sea" is surely analogous with it) are driving around in modern Mercedes, VW/Audi and the like. Whilst I'd love to see some of the vehicles in this thread in game, I'll be disappointed if we end up with a tired "In Soviet Russia..." cliche as a setting, rather than these vehicles cohabiting the world alongside semi-modern eurocars like the Mercedes W124, the VW Passat and the Volvo 940 to name but a few!

 

Edit: This map image here (in Tajiktstan) demonstrates what I mean; a modern-ish post soviet taxi alongside a brand new Toyota. This one from Moldova's capital shows how few of these old things you can see in one of Europe's poorest countries.

This... several of the bigger cities like Nov or Chernogorsk would definitely be more than capable of supporting a few modern cars. The rest of the region seems like it'd be too poor to see too many modern cars around with any degree of significance, but it'd still be possible and should be represented.

 

Also, HMMWVs need to be a military vehicle in the game, considering the wrecks they have lying around.

I like it.

Have you ever been in Russia? Some vehicles there are rather 'older'. Like i've seen a ton of old mercedeses there.

Like it I would love to see more vehicles ingame it'll be great if we can balance all of them out like crash sites. You have my beans created of the thread.

[loudless 2]

really nice list, but i must say that, well first of all there definately should be some modern cars in that list as well, and considering the tastes of Easternt European countries those should be German make like well... say BMW E32, mercedes w140 etc...also it would nice to see something that was often seen in 1990s...yes eighteen wheelers like Volvo FH. And the last thing the list can be cropped a bit  from a gaming funtionality view.

PS id rather crawl with two broken legs than get into moskvich))

pls devs

[FlimFlamm 509]

How about planes and helicopters?. Can we get some examples of planes and helicopters that are concievable buildable by a horde of dedicated and murderous survivors?

 

For example it's not that difficult to build a bi-plane out of wood canvas and an appropriate engine.

what about  a train (or two) for each server that could be repaired with vehicle parts? It would be fantastic to drive around Chernarus in a train honking the choo choo horn and picking up people like fuckin thomas the tank engine. It would be cool to have track switches too that you could switch to make the train take a different track.
