@Opticalsnare

Its a bit useless to make some little changes at config and weapons.bin and release them as mod, so far ArmA needs patches, and there will be more changes by BI in the future.
Patches should be an duty for BI, that all people play with the same version online, and not one with ECP, one with WGL, another with FFUR on the same server .. you know.
No offensive, just my point of view.

Better make an standalone addon, not a replacement.

OffTopic:
Opticalsnare what is with the INSMod for HL2 .. i waiting for it.
My last info about release was april, is that correct?

How do you figure that it takes 15 rounds of 20mm AP round to destroy a humvee? I mean there were reports of 20mm rounds penetrating T-55s, let alone Humvees. As well, the same with the 57mm rocket. 2 hits?

Do you have any actual evidence or facts backing these numbers up? They seem random and unrealistic

Although I'm using my own config, I'll check your addon asap

Nice to see that ppl are finally working on some more important aspects of the game than simple reskins, especially when it comes to the AI.

edit: which version of ArmA do you have? I can't use the AI config, it's probably a matter of different versions (1.02 here).

I do not know the USA 249 at all but in my day we used the FN which uses 7.62 and the FN LMG which is also 7.62. The LMG was belt fed and every 3rnd a tracer whereas the rifle was mag fed and normally had no tracers. Why would the 249 be different? Don't the US put tracer rounds in their belts to make it easier for the gunners?

IMO this whole tracers bitch and moan saga is people using these machine guns in online games for their great ability to put a ton of lead downrange but it's giving away their positions. For gameplay sake I see it as a fair compromise.

umm now every weapon is a 1 shot- 1kill even in the arm or leg. I think both weapon and armor values need to be changed.
