Boats - will we ever get them without mods?

[Leetbus]

Here is how they looked in the dayz mod https://youtu.be/ssswkknowBQ https://youtu.be/bKfV2JYgZ_w
I would be happy even if the dev's simply made the little red/white rowboats drivable with paddles think of the awesomeness it would add to the game

Well considering the devs can't even get the core survival in why the hell not add boats. Boats, jets, tanks, helicopters, more military gear, guns.... Remove the infected and voila, ARMA 4

Because that would suck, boats can be an addition survival as long as they are just crappy wooden canoes they will not take away from it and maybe make only 1-2 spawn per server so they are rare

You can't pick up chicks in a canoe

First thing is first.

Getting in and out dont have to be an animation if you can paddle while standing up and crouching is optional and sitting down in it is not a thing unless you do the sitting animation,

It's a row boat not a gondola so standing or even crouching is not really an option and neither would suit an actual boat.

all the "at the controls" animations dont have to be a thing now you can stand up and paddle,

False, the character "state" actions still need doing even in your scenario while at the "controls" or are you saying we now should go back to the "i'm cold" "i'm hungry" scrolling states ??

hitting a sand bank/shore does not need an animation it should just freeze the boat so it cant move like when cars hit an object,

I'd like to think that the crashing in to things will improve beyond what they are currently, but yes it could just be a sudden stop.

attaching oars is not needed there are just canoe paddles they don't get attached they are held in players hand,

False, they are attached to the boats hull that gives a pivot point for rowing actions unless you are talking about adding a canoe and not a row boat.

rowing with one or two there is no difference its only 1 animation just different propulsion 2 people paddling means going in a straight line and faster 1 person paddling means you have to move from side to side to keep it straight and moving relatively fast (i just made it so it still only needs one animation and would work just fine)

No, one person rowing is different to two people rowing, one man has to manage both oars where as with two people rowing only one controls an oar, that is unless you are talking a set or oars for each person.

I still think boats should be in DayZ but in the terms of a row boat over a powered boat there is much less to do at least in what i'm thinking than there is to do with a row boat in terms of putting them in to the game.

Well considering the only paddle you ever find in game is a canoe paddle, i think canoes are what makes most sense, maybe craftable canoes then would be better the only animation needed would be sitting in the boat itself and the paddling, and dude you can paddle with one oar paddle on left side, paddle on right side if you only do one side you go in a circle :P adding just one row boat canoe type thing would be the start of other possible boats in the future too

I hope we get the PBX, that fishing boat was so slow in the mod.

I used them on Namalsk frequently.

Honestly, rowing seems a little ridiculous, for plenty of reasons already listed. Hear me out, what if they just added something similar to civilian boats in GR Wildlands or Farcry. The same boat that we have washed up on shore, just interactable. Maybe add the small engine mount as something you have to find in a shed somewhere, as well as scavenging the parts for it like any other engine. It wouldn't have to go very fast and the animations necessary to use it wouldn't be near as tedious to program. It would be sitting and moving the arm. I feel like anything is better than nothing. Honestly if they don't want to give us boats, then how about bridges to those islands?? Why have gone through the trouble of fleshing out these locations and then making them that undesirable to reach?
