Changes: M3S

Revision as of 15:09, 3 July 2021

The M3S, previously known as the V3S, is a vehicle in DayZ. It was the first functional vehicle to be implemented in the game during the Alpha stage of development back in late 2014. It was reworked and added back to the game in the 1.10 update.

Performance

The M3S is the slowest vehicle in DayZ. It has a maximum speed of around 50 kph when driving on flat ground or down a slight hill. When going normal throttle, it reaches about 40 kph. However, when driving gentle throttle, the max speed is about 17 kph.

Vehicle Parts

The following 'Engine' and 'Chassis' parts are necessary for an operational M3S:

2x M3S Wheel
4x M3S Dual Wheel (2 minimum, 4 recommended)
1x Truck Battery

The 'Body' parts are optional, but recommended for the safety of vehicle occupants:

2x M3S Wheels can be stored in the spare wheel compartments on the rear of the cabin. The compartment holders need to be open to take out the spare wheels.

Storage Capacity

The M3S has a base storage of 600 item slots (10x60), but can be extended up to a total of 1400 slots using:

4x Oil Barrel
4x Wooden Crate

In addition to the extra storing capabilities, the M3S can store the following:

Removed Variants

Flatbed

This variant didn't have as much cargo area compared to the other variants. It was mostly used for basic transportation and simple storage. It was removed in 0.63.

Transport

This variant had a dedicated cargo area and was favoured for its increased cargo capacity, but was slower due to its extra weight. This was the variant that was reimplemented into the covered M3S in the 1.10 update.

Trivia

The M3S was first implemented in v0.51.125720 on 3rd December 2014, as the V3S. It was removed in v0.63 for reimplementation on new systems, and a new Covered variant was first reintroduced in v1.10 Experimental on 29th October 2020.
The M3S is based on the real-world Praga V3S, which entered service with the Czech armed forces in 1953 and remained in service until the early 2000s. It was also released in the civilian market to wide success.
Prior to 0.57, it was possible to drive the truck underwater.
A Command/Radio van variant was teased and is in the game's files, but was never implemented. Wrecks of this model are found throughout the game.
It is currently impossible to repair the truck's engine on PC (game version : 1.12) since the engine spot isn't accessible.

 {{TOC|left}}
-'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a vehicle available in [[DayZ Standalone]]. It was the first functional vehicle to be implemented in the game.
+The '''{{PAGENAME}}''', previously known as the '''V3S''', is a vehicle in [[DayZ]]. It was the first functional vehicle to be implemented in the game during the Alpha stage of development back in late 2014. It was reworked and added back to the game in the 1.10 update.
-'''NOTE:''' As of Version 1.0.150000 the M3S is not spawning on vanilla servers.
-Through scripting, a drivable but not yet finished Version can be spawned and driven.
 {{Clear|left}}
-== General ==
-The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was the first vehicle added to DayZ Standalone. It was also featured in the DayZ Mod, and was favoured for being able to withstand a substantial amount of gunfire and general abuse. <br>
-It currently spawns in and around [[Towns and Cities]]. <br>
-You can drive roughly around the map once before needing to refuel the truck. <br>
-The truck cannot be refueled directly from a [[Gas Station]], but you can, however, transfer the fuel from the pump to the vehicle using [[Gasoline Canister]].
 == Performance ==
+The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the slowest vehicle in DayZ. It has a maximum speed of around 50 kph when driving on flat ground or down a slight hill. When going normal throttle, it reaches about 40 kph. However, when driving gentle throttle, the max speed is about 17 kph.
-The V3S is the slowest vehicle in DayZ.  It has a maximum speed of 58 kph when driving on flat ground or down a slight hill.  Driving uphill drastically impacts acceleration. <br>
-Holding down the {{Key|L. Shift}} key to give the vehicle more throttle helps to overcome this. <br>
-st gear ends at 8 kph, 2nd gear at 12 kph, 3rd gear at 30 kph, and 4th gear at 58 kph. <br>
-Acceleration between gears is slower in the Cargo variant. <br>
-== Damage ==
-You can drive it through bushes and the white reflectors that line the sides of some roads, but not trees or other objects. <br>
-In addition, hitting a solid map object with the truck can damage or destroy the front tires, headlights, and/or cause a fuel leak.
-[[Zombies]] cannot attack you while you are inside the truck, and players using melee attacks cannot hurt you as long as the doors are closed. <br>
-Players using guns can, however, shoot you through the windows and larger calibers can penetrate the truck's hull. <br>
-You cannot currently shoot or otherwise attack while inside the truck, regardless of what seat you are occupying. <br>
-== Variants ==
-=== V3S Chassis Cab ===
-This truck has nothing but a cab for two passengers, a bare-bones version.  <br>
-Faster than the cargo variant but serves only as basic transportation, as it has less cargo space. <br>
-[[File:V3S_Chassis.png|frameless|499x499px]]<br><br>
-===V3S Civilian ("Cargo") ===
-Much more useful than the Chassis Cab because of its increased cargo and passenger capacity, but slower due to its extra weight. <br>
-This variant has a semi-enclosed rear cargo bed with benches for up to 8 passengers (plus 2 people in the cab).<br>
-[[File:V3S.png|frameless|502x502px]]<br><br>
 == Vehicle Parts ==
-The following parts are necessary to get the '''{{PAGENAME}}''' operational, as of v0.61:
+The following 'Engine' and 'Chassis' parts are necessary for an operational '''{{PAGENAME}}''':
-* 2x [[Truck Wheel]]
+* 2x [[M3S Wheel]]
-* 4x [[Truck Double Wheel]] (2 minimum, 4 recommended)
+* 4x [[M3S Dual Wheel]] (2 minimum, 4 recommended)
 * 1x [[Truck Battery]]
-The following parts are ''optional'', but recommended for the safety of vehicle occupants:
+The 'Body' parts are optional, but recommended for the safety of vehicle occupants:
-* 1x [[Headlight]]
+* 2x [[Headlight Bulb]]
-* 1x [[V3S Driver Door]]
+* 1x [[M3S Left Door]]
-* 1x [[V3S CoDriver Door]]
+* 1x [[M3S Right Door]]
-* 1x [[V3S Hood]]
+* 1x [[M3S Hood]]
+x [[M3S Wheel]]s can be stored in the spare wheel compartments on the rear of the cabin. The compartment holders need to be open to take out the spare wheels.
-== Damage and Repairs ==
-;Wheels
-Damaged wheels will reduce grip and can make it impossible to drive the truck uphill. A [[Tire Repair Kit]] can be used to repair damaged wheels. <br>
-The wheel must be removed before damage can be assessed and repaired. You do not need any tools to remove a wheel from the vehicle. <br>
-Wheel removal is done through the action menu, by moving the wheel into your hands. Attaching is done the same way, but with a wheel in your hands. <br>
-Ruined wheels can not be repaired and must be removed and replaced with a new wheel. <br>
+== Storage Capacity ==
-The truck can be driven with some missing wheels but will have reduced speed and handling. Losing the front wheels will make steering almost impossible. <br>
+The {{PAGENAME}} has a base storage of 600 item slots (10x60), but can be extended up to a total of 1400 slots using:
-Damage to any wheel negatively affects the top speed and acceleration. Damage to the rear wheels reduces the truck's grip and may cause it to spin out while turning. <br>
+* 4x [[Oil Barrel]]
-Emergency repairs can be made by moving middle wheels to the rear. <br>
+* 4x [[Wooden Crate]]
+In addition to the extra storing capabilities, the {{PAGENAME}} can store the following:
+* 50x [[Wooden log]]
+* 100x [[Plank]]
+* 40x [[Sheet Metal]]
+== Colored Variants ==
-;Engine
+<gallery mode="packed" heights="300">
-Damage to the engine will reduce the speed of the truck. As of 0.61, engine damage cannot be repaired by players. <br>
+File:M3S_Covered.png|'''Green'''
+File:M3S_Covered_Blue.png|'''Blue'''
-;Fuel Tank
+File:M3S_Covered_Orange.png|'''Orange'''
-A damaged fuel tank will leak fuel and quickly run dry. This generally occurs if a truck hits something hard enough to ruin the front wheels, but may occur without destroying the wheels or may not occur even though the front wheels are ruined. As of 0.61, the fuel tank cannot be repaired by players. <br>

-* The Praga V3S entered service with the Czech armed forces in 1953 and remained in service until the early 2000s.  With excellent off-road capabilities, the '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was popular on the civilian market and many were sold as surplus, similar to the US M35 truck.
