HERE IS THE VISION OF MY SERVER
 - To create an outstanding HQC+ / vanilla+ experience that stays true to the spirit of vanilla with a tiny download size;
 - To create through mods the best infantry combat gameplay in Reforger;
 - To create through mods an immersive gameplay environment where all elements of gameplay beyond combat flourish (such as economy, logistics, squad cohesion);
 - To create an environment where new players, casual fans and serious MilSim squads will feel at home.

Sounds good to you? 

The full server name is [GBR-EUR] Operation Sunshine (1st Person) | VANILLA+ | HQC+ | All Welcome.

OVERHAUL OF BULLET PENETRATION / PASSTHROUGH
 - Bullets have significantly higher ability to penetrate flesh meaning much higher likelihood for collaterals;
 - Resilience damage to arms has been significantly increased resulting in less bullet-sponge behaviour. Whilst arm shots won't kill quicker, they result in uncon much faster which keeps infantry combat deadly, but not insta-gib.
 - Bullets will always penetrate through guns meaning they are no longer the best armour in the game;
 - Penetration resistance of an array of structural materials significantly lowered allowing penetrative fire through walls depending on its penetrable properties.
 - Aiming damage increased 3x, meaning far less damage to arms is required to suffer aim penalties.
