[95406] Improved: Servers can set vonCodecQuality 11..20 for improved quality (wideband). Ultrawideband 21..30 will be possible in 1.63. The new setting requires a recent client on the talking side, server and listening clients can be any version.

note: in server config the VONcodecQuality setting now supports:
narrowband (8kHz) as range 1-10
wideband (16kHz) as range 11-20
(when version increase to 1.63 then also ultrawideband (32kHz) as range 21-30))

* notice this is first beta for 1.63 branch, but to keep MP compatibility with 1.62 we have it this way

this build does contain previous beta fixes/tweaks/improvements for NAT and server listing

BattlEye support status: ... SUPPORTED ...

Improved VON quality? I like it.

I've got an idea for the next beta, revert those weapon changes you guys made for no reason (except the lee enfield, that can stay how it is)

Also, make sure you put those changes in the changelog. Not sure why you guys felt the need to attempt to hide all of those changes.

The issue hs two sides, while the Assault rifle nerf is reasonable that for handguns went to far...And why the hell was the 9x18 so powerfull, it has onyl half the egenrgy of a 9x19...the makarov is a pure blow back gun.

9x19 580 m/s 700 Joules.
9x18 319ms 318 Joules.

Because it is all conspiracy Or maybe we just forgot to list it? On the other hand, the changes have purpose and reasons but here is full description of changes made:

1) Grad and MLRS ammo were not able to knock out vehicles

2) Makarov, 545x39, .45, .303, Slug745 and Sa-61 ammo were more powerfull than they should be

changes in ca\weapons_E\cfgAmmo.hpp and Ca\weapons_E\LeeEnfield\config.cpp

No doubt the changes are resonable but without doubt a bit to "flat" done in just numbers. The 9x19 is very problematc here especially when used in submachineguns like the MP5 that should have a superior range and power compared to plain pistols with 115mm short barrels. For the PP-19 a lower performance is spot on.

You guys are working hard eh ?

Maybe the answer would be to create a new round type 9x19smg with an increase in performance to account for the longer barrel.

So in milsim-like game there's a reason for .45 cal gun to hit like 4 times in the chest to put down a man? Is this CoD or something? -69% damage (from 4500 to 1389) is not even overboard, it's total overkill.

Hello welcome to the World of MilSim where most oponents wear body armor, Even the good old Flak vests from the 80's had a good chance to stop a .45 round. If you want to test "stopping power on unarmoured opponets use civil units only and you will notice the difference. Keep in mind all combatant factions are considered wearing armour in ArmA. You can shoot a whole mag at point blank at the chest of someone wearing STANAG Lvl I Protection without much of an lethal effect.
