4. new firing sounds and projectile effects.
5. factions use all new weapons, cultists can be accompanied by drones, their cyborgs use wargot weapons and heavy weapons. Factions squads were increased a bit.
6. reworked experience. Soldiers now gain experience mainly for killing enemies rather than simply participating in mission.
7. militia barracks were reconfigured. You can now use three types of barracks - basic (firearms, gauss), energy (laser, sonic, plasma, warp) and support (snipers, machineguns and launchers). There is also a new type of building - drone hangars. These "train" up to 2 drone as militia.

What`s inside:

- scope mounts were divided by 4 groups: simple (mp5, mp5sd6, p90, ump, usas, striker), classic (colt 9mm, spas12, famas, most of the energy weapons), advanced (most assault rifles and machineguns, m14, sks), sniper (all sniper weapons including energy and barretts). Scopes were divided into 3 categories: combat scopes (simple, classic and advanced mounts), advanced scopes (classic, advanced and sniper), sniper scopes (advanced and sniper mounts). Advanced scopes include thermal sight and movement finder. This way it is possible to equip AKM or M4 with a sniper scope, SVD or SR25 with a thermal scope, mp5 and usas only with combat scopes while colt and spas12 with movement finders and thermal scopes.
- reduced both bh2 machineguns (brownings) accuracy from 55-60 to 35-45.
- modified ammo capacity per ammo box:
.45, 9mm, 4.7mm -> 50 bullets
7.62, 7.62 nato, 5.56, 6mm bolts, wargot bolts -> 30 bullets
9x39 -> 40 bullets
- changed warp principles research requirements. It now requires any warp weapon be it human, reticulan or hybrid.
- added explosive bolts for gauss weapons.
- increased SKS fire and bayonet damage.
- increased m14 recoil.

For other changes/fixes please refer to ACM readme file.


Installation:

Archive includes an acmod.vfs file and localization folder. PLEASE backup this folder before installing ACM.
The mod is INCOMPATIBLE with any other mod, sorry for that.
Place both file and folder into your UFO AS folder.

ENJOY. And report any bugs and wierdness you WILL encounter

No they don`t. In fact i never saw AI snipers or grenadiers changing to their sidearms when run out of ammo or being to close. AS doesn`t seem to support this tipe of AI reactions.

In my first attempt of ACM i provided all humans and cultists with pistols and knives. Not a single person except commandoes ever changed its weapon to knive or back when he was unable to use his main weapon any longer.

About wargots.

Perhaps guys in full armor and power armor should indeed have gunman 3 skills. I`ll consider this, thanks.
