* abc * Revert "abc" This reverts commit bcb4214bd99bba3fec692efa4dca950323da582d. * Update to current commit * Added HOT1 Missile and SACLOS/Wire guidance * Added all HOT variants. Added polish to code * Fixed bug with pylons * Changed how seeker angle is calculated. When the wire snaps the missile goes haywire. Fixed bug where HOT2/3 missiles weren't getting missile guidance * Replaced Wiesel FireFIST launcher with HOT Launcher * Remove debug defines * Tweak thrust * Fix formatting issues. Added true randomness. Added ACE prefixes. Added string table. Tweaked missile dynamics * Fix bug where attack profile correction was wrong due to magnitude always being 50. Add stringtable values for relevant strings. Added reload time to Wiesel ATGM. Added "onFired" to initialize values * Moved wire-snapping logic to attack profile * Missile flight dynamics tweaked * Add a crosshair offset. The missile sits in this offset relative to the crosshair * Add LOS checks. Fix bug where wire-cutting didnt work. * Tweak explosive range for a kill radius of ~20m. Add fragmentation * Add AI Flags * Person in control of missile may not be the shooter * Fix RPT spam on missile out of LOS. Tweak missile dynamics. Add wire break sound cue * Fix bug where missile didn't go to a fake target in front of it when out of LOS * Use a better, more generic way to calculate direction camera is facing * Use ACE Macros for frag values. Get config entry with CBA * Add Wiki entry * Add new lines to wiki. Allow for SQF expressions in config for maxCorrectableDistance * Add CPP code tag * Fix wiki grammer error * Re-convert back to CBA_fnc_getConfigEntry * UAV Gunner support, cleanup * Fix bug where SACLOS for launcher guided weapons was off * Add the ability to define how far ahead of the missile the attack profile will seek toward
Requires the latest version of CBA A3.

ACE3 is a joint effort by the teams behind ACE2, AGM and CSE to improve the realism and authenticity of Arma 3.
The project is entirely open-source and all contributions are welcome. Feel free to maintain your own custom version, so long as the changes you make are open to the public in accordance with the GNU General Public License (GPLv2).
The mod is built modularly, so almost any included PBO can be easily removed from the configuration. This way, a team can maintain its own tailored version of ACE3 by simply excluding any components they don't need, or those possibly in conflict with other mods. Modules themselves, e.g. the medical system, also include various customization options, allowing mission designers to tweak the overall experience.
Core features
- Brand new 3D interaction/action system
- Performance and reliability framework
- Focus on modularity and customization
- New flexible client and server settings & configuration
- Improved medical system with various levels (basic/advanced) focus on gameplay/realism
- Proper & consistent network-synced weather
- Wind and weather-based ballistics
- Captivity system
- Explosives system, including different trigger types
- Map screen improvements – marker placement and map tools
- Logistics
- Advanced missile guidance and laser designation
Additional features
- Carrying and dragging
- Realistic names for vehicles and weapons
- A fire control system (FCS) for armored vehicles and helicopters
- Realistic ballistics/FCS calculated in C/C++ extensions
- Backblast area and overpressure simulation
- Disposable launchers
- Realistic G-forces
- Vehicle locking
- Realistic night and thermal vision modes
- Magazine repacking
- Realistic weapon overheating mechanic
- Combat deafness (temporary loss of hearing) simulation
- Improved interactions for AARs and ammo bearers
- Adjustable sniper scopes
- No idle animation with lowered weapon
- No talking player avatar
- Jumping over obstacles, climbing over walls and cutting down fences
- Vector, MicroDAGR and Kestrel devices
and much more...
