## 1. Overview

### 1.1 Adjusted flight behaviour
Changes the flight behaviour of various aircraft.

### 1.2 Various adjustments to aircraft and gunships munitions
- Higher capacity magazines for the Comanche.
- Gatling rate of fire (ROF) increased.
- AP rockets have less splash damage.

### 1.3 Missile lock warnings
Adds missile-lock warning systems to helicopters and planes based on the equivalent real life capabilities.

### 1.4 Semi-automatic flare mode
Adds the semi-automatic flare mode known from Arma 2. The key to switch modes existed in Arma 3's key settings, but wasn't operational until now.

### 1.5 Ejecting from pilot and copilot seats
Pilots and copilots of all helicopters can now eject.

### 1.6 Laser marker for Wildcat
Adds a laser marker to the copilot seat of the Wildcat.

### 1.7 HUD for AH-9
Adds a HUD to the AH-9 based on the Comanche's HUD.

## 2. Usage

### 2.1 Switching flare modes
Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd> to switch between flare firing modes (Arma 3 default key bind `countermeasure mode`)

## 3. Dependencies

`ace_common`
Create missing documentation placeholders Creates placeholder documentation for modules which did not previously have any. If a module had the same name and apparent purpose as a module from AGM, AGM's documentation was imported into the placeholder. These documentation are useful to users for explaining what ACE3 changes. They are also useful to community admins who want to create a custom distribution of ACE3 and need to know which modules to disable. The documentation needs to be significantly fleshed out before it's ready for public consumption, but this should be a helpful start. 2015-05-13 00:28:18 +00:00			`---`
