Description

IMPORTANT: please read full description to avoid confusion, thank you;)

Mod is aimed to deliver FUN and Immersive Hardcore experience without making it torture to play.

---Additions---
- Death screen: after death you keep seeing the world for about 6 seconds, then a 1 second fade. The respawn menu opens after 7 seconds at the earliest.
- Duds: a loaded cartridge can fail to fire (1/500) - the trigger only clicks, reload to rack a fresh round. 40mm grenades (3/100) and RPG rockets (4/100) can fail to explode. Hydra and other vehicle-mounted munitions are excluded.
- Live duds: a 40mm or RPG dud does not disappear - it stays where it landed as a live round, the same for every player:
  - it falls, rolls and settles, then stays in place (no floating warheads)
  - for the first 30 seconds it is safe
  - after that it goes off when you step on it, shoot it or drive over it
  - when you come within 3 m of it and can see it, there is a 1 in 5 chance that it goes off (one roll each time you approach)
  - it explodes like the real round (warhead, fireball, smoke, sound) and kills like one
  - it cannot be defused and goes off by itself after 20 minutes
- Rocket shooting: a bullet that goes through the loaded rocket of an RPG on a player (in hands or slung) can set the warhead off (1/2 for rockets, 1/4 for disposable tubes like M72 and RPG-75). Works with launchers and rockets from other mods too.
- PG-7VR: slight simulated fragmentation, enough to stop APCs.
- Anti-drone: several types of anti-drone ammo to deal with "mosquitos" and multiple camouflages to hide from them.
- Shoes: without boots your footsteps are silent (gear rattle and weapon handling are not). Vanilla blister damage is off, but you can slip on very steep surfaces.
- Every item added can be found in arsenal (look in US/USSR/FIA arsenals)

---Changes---
- Tourniquets reworked: can be pre-applied (also on limbs that do not bleed, on yourself and others), up to 4 on the limbs with no penalty from the tourniquet itself. After 7 minutes it goes back to your inventory; hover the limb in the inventory to see the time left. Medical mods may conflict - still testing.
- Stamina increased: about 100-150 m of full sprint with 30 kg of gear. Weight still drains stamina, so heavy loadouts stay slow and light loadouts gain the most. Jumping, swimming, vaulting and climbing are unchanged.
- Spec-Ops squads: more players per squad and a lower rank needed to create one.
- Walls: some materials are weaker (wood, brick and others).
- Hit effects: better .gamemat hit effects, some louder, some quieter.
- Spall: new values (penetration, amount, lifetime, arming distance) for all vanilla RPGs and aerial HEAT/HEDP rockets.
- Spall penetration types changed for HEDP and HEAT.
- Explosive killzone of HEAT reduced about 2.2x for more realistic behavior (40mm excluded).
- Vehicle fire: crew gets 10 seconds without damage, then a small burn that grows slowly - enough time to bail out. Leaving the vehicle resets the timer. Wrecks only burn with the smallest fire.

---Word from author---
- Test the mod and use ArmaDiag to see how the mechanics work.
- You survive longer on foot and in vehicles. To kill a vehicle, hit its components and crew precisely.
- Server owners: test the behavior well, the mod is made for Hardcore/UltraHardcore player base in mind.
- Compatibility with other explosive weapon mods is in development.
