## Advanced ballistics simulation
|

Advanced ballistics changes above and beyond the ballistics module. Bullet velocity and flight paths are dynamically simulated in response to the following factors:

The advanced ballistics module improves projectile physics by simulating internal and external ballistics. Factors used in the simulation include:

## Realistic silencers and subsonic ammunition
|
||||||
Silencers no longer decrease the muzzle velocity and are generally less effective when used with normal ammunition. They now only remove the muzzle blast and flash. To prevent the crack caused by super sonic projectiles, AGM introduces sub sonic ammunition. This is also fully compatible with AI. Sub sonic ammunition is available for the calibers 5.56mm, 6.5mm and 7.62mm.

Armour piercing rounds have higher penetration values against light armoured targets or other obstacles on the battlefield. Their drawback is a slightly decreased man-stopping power. AP rounds are available for the calibers 5.56mm, 6.5mm and 7.62mm.
