Reb'S FRAGO is an overhaul modification for WARNO's Combat system.

The primary objective of this mod is to accurately represent the weapons and equipment of WARNO without compromising their quantifiable capabilities for balance. Every weapon statistic, from RNG accuracy, unit speed, dispersion, effective range, damage, suppression, reload speed, aim time, cyclic rate of fire and area affect radius are all copied or calculated from real life data to maintain full consistency. Balance is done through curves in calculation of interpretive factors, (ie, RNG accuracy, suppression) and economy changes.

The second objective of this mod is to facilitate the slower, more tactical style of gameplay for WARNO with the new realistic weapon values. Skirmish parameters are changed to allow longer games (1-4 hours), so that players can develop frontlines, cause attrition victories, use small unit tactics, and coordinate grand combined arms attacks.


MOD CHANGES:
WEAPONS
- Weapon maximum ranges based on real weapon maximum effective range, including infantry antitank and radar guided missiles.
- All ballistic weapon damage is based on real projectile size.
- Explosive weapon damage is based on real warhead/blast charge size.
- Ball, SABOT, & APFDS no longer have area of affect radii and must hit the target to kill.
- HEAT/HESH projectiles have halved blast area of affects in composition to equivalent size HE projectiles.
- Explosive area of effect is based on warhead/blast charge size, with the damage at the outer radius of the area of affect scaled to 1% to model shrapnel.
- Area of affect distances are in general around half vanilla size. No more armored vehicles getting blown up by 155mm shells 50+ meters away.
- Suppression radius is based on area of affect.
- Suppression damage based on weapon damage with a curve.
- Weapon disperson is based on effective range, two direct fire weapons will have the same dispersion radius at each of their respective maximum effective ranges.
- Reload times calculated by weapon type and ammunition size. Autoloaders can reload 25% faster than a manually operated gun of equivalent size.
- All weapons have their correct cyclic rates of fire.
- RNG accuracy calculated with cyclic rate of fire and weapon size.
- Limit on successive RNG hits removed.
- ATGMs can be fired relatively rapidly in a salvo, but have long reload times.
- Disposable AT rockets take longer to aim than their reloadable counterparts due to the necessity for the rockets to be prepped, but can be fired in a rapid salvo.
- Mk.19 GMG modelled to shoot HEDP.
- Vasilek can direct fire.
- Moving accuracy unstabilized is about half of static accuracy. This is to both cushion micro and account for fire and manuever, as well as help offset the tremendous defensive bias this game has.
- Units have appropriate combat loads of ammunition.

DETECTION
- All optics levels are roughly half of vanilla and are graduated evenly.
- Thermal optics are modelled by an additional optics level.
- Time to identify target increased to better model the fog of war.
- Stealth levels are graduated evenly on an exponent, infantry can get within 200m of a tank without being detected.

TERRAIN
- Light forest and buildings block sight.
- All terrain types modify all weapon damages. Artillery for example is more effective in ruins than undamaged urban due to the lack of overhead cover.
- All terrain types modify all units speeds. Dense forest is impassible to vehicles, while light forest reduces their speeds considerably.

INFANTRY
- All infantry and crew served wepaons movement speed reduced toa realistic speed.
- Infantry hitpoints increased to two per soldier. This is to appropriately model the ability of infantry to utilize microterrain cover.
- Infantry move faster on roads.
- Concealment level scaled by unit size.
- Speed scaled by unit size.

VEHICLES
- All vehicles have correct speeds/road speeds.
- Aircraft have correct low altitude speeds.
- Wheeled vehicles are 50% slower offroad while tracked vehicles are 33% slower offroad.
- All vehicles have correct fuel tank capacity and fuel consumption rates based on real consumption rates.
- Hitpoints all normalized to 10 points regardless of vehicle size. The reasoning behind this is to provide better consistency with the game's armor penetration indexing system. All things considered, a vehicle is a hollow box that only needs to be penetrated to be destroyed regardless of its size or weight. Vehicle survivablity is solely based on its armor and armor type.
- ECM modifiers increased by 25% to compromise with the new realistic radar missile ranges.
- Logistics vehicles carry real life weight in supply.
- Air assets cost around twice as much command points due to their sheer power.

ARTILLERY
- Indirect fire units require a 30 second period for aim time.
- Smoke barrages shoot longer salvos for better obscuration sustainement.
- Mortars shoot much more rapidly than howitzers, but have lower range and accuracy.
- Rocket launchers have correct rates of fire.

AI
- AI has higher resource multipliers per difficulty level and are evenly graduated.
- AI is overall more cautious to emulate human behavior and concentrate resources.
- AI artillery will most greatly prioritize counterbattery fire and establishing artillery superiority.
- AI has a longer duration memory of player assets and positions.

OTHER CHANGES
- Stun time reduced to 3 seconds.
- Veterancy changed from additive to multiplier modifiers to correspond appropriately with the new weapon accuracy values.
- FOBs have more supply for longer skirmishes.
- Higher max match time options.
- Higher victory point threshold options.
- Lower command point income options.


GAMEPLAY:
What to expect may be different when vanilla:
- Combat is more sustained, sometimes success in an offensive may be defined by mere meters.
- Greater emphasis on the placement of antiair weapons, rader weapons should typically be turned off to prevent being countered by SEAD.
- Artillery has a lower area of affect, but alot of damage, and are effective at area denial.
- Infantry are very hardy and are not optional for victory. Infantry will be difficult to root out of woods and urban areas.
- Armor is very powerful, but must be screened with infanty and reconnaisance.
- Controlling key terrain is just as important for a victory in a long duration game as controlling the command zones.
- Destroying everything with CAS helicopter swarms is no longer viable against a proper defense.
- Lower defender bias. While defenders certainly do have an advantage, they can still be overwhelmed by superior coordination and reconnaisance.
- Having air supremacy can be a death sentence to the opposing team, but getting it is expensive and risky.

DISCLAIMER TO PLAYERS: RESUB THIS MOD AFTER AN UPDATE BEFORE PLAYING MULTIPLAYER TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE UPDATE>>>OTHERWISE YOUR LOBBY WILL BE IN AN ALTERNATE REALITY

All suggestions for balance, fixes, or modifiers to unit/weapon specs welcome, however I also have special considerations for the things I have already implmented, and we can discuss it.

Thanks to the advice and playtesting of:
Killercat - Modder, ARMA mission maker
Kookie - resident engineering and avionics nerd
Sizable Mikhail - USMC infantry veteran and Ukraine volunteer
Seff - USMC veteran, LAV crewman
Satcom - retired US Army veteran, Tank commander

The Islamic State of Iraq (ISI; Arabic: دولة العراق الإسلامية Dawlat al-ʿIrāq al-ʾIslāmiyyah) was a Salafi jihadist militant organization that fought the forces of the U.S.-led coalition during the Iraqi insurgency. The organization aimed to overthrow the Iraqi federal government and establish an Islamic state governed by Sharia law in Iraq.

@Lukas Alexander It will save-game compatible. I've only been changing combat stats for a while now.

@RebelSchutze
Do I have to start my AG campaign from the begining when mod gets the update, or I can play from my last save?

"@Solon I will definitely test a script change that should not be too difficult to implement."

Cool:steamhappy:

@I'll check into it. I saw the FLA-RAK was too fast just now.
