I am recommending a more robust melee system for ArmA III and/or future iterations of ArmA.
Please refer to the image titled “Melee.” http://spartanwarfighters.net/miscel/ArmA/Melee.png (Right-click the link and select "Open in new tab")
We will progress from top left corner of the image and work our way from left to right across the top of the matrix.
The primary melee weapon could be the rifle using the butt-stroke action. For each weapon, there is an action description, a User Interface (U/I) mouse control option, the speed of the action, and a range of the melee action against an adversary. The last two columns on the far right are for an unprotected and an adversary with body armor. The damage from each weapon would be less if the adversary is wearing body armor.
Moving from top to bottom along the far left column are the different weapons. Some of the weapons have two actions associated with the weapon. The left mouse action is more time intensive to conduct, has longer range, and does more damage. The right mouse action initiated is a faster action in-game, but has shorter range and causes less damage to an adversary.
Please refer to the image titled “Combatives.” http://spartanwarfighters.net/miscel/ArmA/Combatives.png (Right-click the link and select "Open in new tab")
The figures were pulled from a Department of the Army Field Manual (FM). The middle image illustrates the butt-stroke action with a player’s primary weapon; the assault rifle. The left image illustrates the thrust with the bayonet. In the trench fighting in World War I, the Entrenching Tool (E-tool) was an effective weapon and could even be integrated into ArmA gameplay.
It has been a pleasure to put this brief together. I look forward to the success and growth of ArmA. Gaming is made better by your products and hard work. Thank you for your consideration of this proposal.
