CfgAmmo

+ Added Tracer Overhaul
Every Single Small-Arms Ammo Class has had its Tracer Start and End Times, Tracer Scale and overall Projectile Lifetime adjusted
Small Arms fire is now a persistent danger within visual Range (e.g.: Rifle Rounds are simulated longer to ensure suppressive Fire actually hits the ground from afar)
Projectile tracking stops if the Bullet/Warhead has not impacted after 6.5 - 16 seconds depending on Calibre

+ Added UGL Grenade Overhaul. There are now:
40mmCL Rifle Grenades for use in Russian Grenade Launchers (VOG25M, VG40TB, VUS25...)
35mmCL Rifle Grenades for use in Chinese Grenade Launchers (DFS-10, DFS10A, DFJ10)
New 40x46mm LV NATO Rifle Grenades (HEDP, HEAB, Buckshot...)
Custom 40x46mm LV Grenades made for the 3GL Launcher
The correct Calibre Grenades for the XM307
All UGL Grenades have had their Stats adjusted to improve lethality.
This also comes with all-new Explosion and Smoke Effects

+ Added Config for previously unaltered Ammo Classes
All Ammo Configs used by Vanilla Small-Arms are now covered. This includes Warheads for Handheld Launchers.

+ Added new Ammo Classes for Large Calibre Weapons
A distinction between 12.7x108 MG and Sniper Ammo has been made

# Adjusted Config for multiple, already altered Ammo Classes

CfgMagazines

+ Added Magazine Overhaul

Machine Gun Belts are heavy, who knew?

+ Added 430 Magazine Icons to cover every single Magazine and its available Ammo and Tracer Types

+ Added New Icons for further Items made available by A3RO

# Multiple weapons have received unique Magazine classes and Magazine Wells
This was done to account for their real Magazine Well Shapes, only allowing specific Magazines
For example, MP-443 Grach and P99 Magazines are no longer interchangeable

# Changed the Ammo Count of various Vanilla Magazines
Large ACR Magazines 100 > 60
Small Mk14 Magazines 10 > 5
KH-2002 Magazines 30 > 20
With the Reaction Forces Compat all Stanag Magazines will become usable in the KH-2002 Series

- Removed Tracer Magazines from Weapons where no Info on their existence could be verified

- Removed various unused Vanilla Magazines from Arsenal

CfgVehicles

+ Added Backpack Overhaul
Adjusted Mass and Load Capacity of all Load Bearing Backpacks aswell as the mass of Statics Backpacks
Load Capacity was increased by 3x on average to ensure Backpacks are able to pack heavy MG Belts.
I trust that the weight penalty itself balances this out.
A further adjustment of the remaining Backpacks, aswell as more realistc Load Capacity Stats will follow
This was more of an adjustment out of neccessity as not to break Loadouts and Units with 'smaller' backpacks

# Adjusted all classes affected by A3RO changes to function as intended
Machine Gunners are equipped with Tracer Every 4 Belts
Submachine Guns , Sporting Rifles and Marksman Rifles use no Tracers
All other Rifles use Reload Tracer Magazines
Ammo Bearers, Assistants and any Magazines inside Backpacks are also adjusted

# Adjusted weights of a plethora of Weapons once more to be more accurate to real life

# Changed Rate of Fire Config from Absolute Values to Fractions

# Adjusted all UGL Grenade Launchers to use the correct Calibre of Ammo

# Streamlined maxZeroing across the entire Game.
The longer the effective Range of a Weapon, the higher its possible Zeroing

# Adjusted Launcher Lock-On Ranges

* Fixed missing maxZeroing Configuration of some Weapon Classes



+ Added Grey, Cadet Grey and Blued Camouflague Options and applied them to the required Items

# Changed Sorting of Laser Designators into JIM Compact / Mark VIIE

# Changed Weapon Names in line with [A3RO_Vanilla]

This is due them using the same Magazine Class as other Weapons or in the case of the SDAR because removing it would break any Diving Mission.

SDAR
Sting


#### A3RO_ACE ####

Also added compatibility to the M25 SWS and all NV Goggles.


KNOWN BUGS:
ACE Arsenal always displays highest available Cyclic Rate. As such, weapon with a Burst Mode will have their fire Rate displayed at e.g. 1000RPM, which is only the case for the Burst Firemode.
