Swap TFN AR M249s to MG4s #182

Closed baegel49 closed 2 years ago

baegel49 commented 3 years ago

Cons (old)

Potential for sound bugs (resolved with update, MG4 now uses vanilla sounds)

Pros

TFN is more distinct
More variety
@Seb105 can't tell me we don't use BW mod just because he doesn't attend my German army missions
In line with TFN using Flecktarn, HK416s, and MG5s

freghar commented 3 years ago

Pardon the stupid question, but how does MG4 compare to M249 in terms of

weapon weight
ammo weight (do we need to shuffle new boxes around?)
caliber/damage
difference compared to MMG .. ?

Thanks!

(Just trying to see what would change, can't start Arma right now.)

baegel49 commented 3 years ago

I can't open up Arma either right now but you'll find the answer to those questions in the editor.

The gist of it is that it is more or less the same, I believe MG4 bags weigh a bit less but they're the same caliber, which means they have 5.56 caliber compared to MMGs 7.62

When replacing boxes, watch out for weight differences, the MG4 200rnd ones aren't exactly double the RHS 100rnd.
