Dharma Bellamkonda 1227d6e3fb 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.

Overview

Realistic rifle ammunition

Changes include adjusted muzzle velocity, air friction and dispersion based on real life values.

Body armour nerf

Nerfs protection values of vests, CSAT uniforms and various campaign only gear to more realistic levels comparable to Arma 2 levels.

Realistic silencers and sub-sonic 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 ammunition

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

IR-Dim tracer ammunition

IR-Dim ammunition is similar to tracer rounds, but their tracers are only visible using night vision devices.

M118 Long range ammunition

The M14 EBR now uses ammunition with decreased muzzle velocity and air friction to improve precission on long ranges.

Flash suppressors

Flash suppressors are similar to sound suppressors and prevent the muzzle flash reducing visibilty without decreasing combat effectiveness. Flash suppressors are available for the calibers 5.56mm, 6.5mm, 7.62mm, .45 ACP and 9mm.
