Warno Realism Improved

Updated to v146198

This mod aims to make WARNO more realistic and immersive, by slow down combat and changing some game mechanics, such as the logistics and vehicle damage systems to be more realistic. There are also new freebuild decks with all units of a nation/alliance to create custom divisions, like in wargame.

You can find a basic overview over the adjustments below, a detailed list of changes can be found in the "Discussions" section.

- Most weapon ranges are twice the vanilla range
- Removed unrealistic vanilla distance scaling. In vanilla one "real" meter is displayed as 2.92 "ingame" meters. In this mod one "real" meter is displayed as one "ingame" meter.

- Forests and Ruins block line-of-sight more effectively
- Infantry can enter destroyed buildings

- Increased capacity of supply vehicles and FOBs
- Added Field Supply Points, a new type of "mini-FOB" that can be spawned in a transport truck or helicopter, and dropped anywhere on the map.
- Supply vehicles can no longer repair unit hitpoints, only FOBs and Field Supply Points can.

- Significantly increased damage resistance for infantry, especially in buildings and forests
- New suppression and morale system, infantry gets offensive debuffs and defensive buffs, the lower the morale drops. This keeps infantry longer alive, to provide better chances to withdraw units before they get destroyed.
- Slowed down infantry movement speed to realistic values
- Increased the forward deployment range of "infiltrator" units, such as PSSE significantly.
- RPGs can target helicopters at short ranges
- HE ammo for more infantry rocket launchers (Only RPG-7 Frag yet).

- Shells have a chance to bounce off and deal no damage, depending on projectile AP value and target armor value
- Damage is no longer affected by AP value or angle, what matters is if the shot penetrates the armor or not. Additional damage may be caused by critical effects.

- Critical effects are much more likely to occure. Effect probability depends on which side of the vehicle was hit.
- Ammo or fuel explosions cause insta-deaths.
- Some criticals require repair vehicles to fix, like "Engine Destroyed"

- Vehicles with ERA or composite armor get +8 armor rating on top of their base armor, representing the increased resistance against HEAT weapons.
- Weapons that are not affected by ERA/composite armor, like tank APFSDS or tandem HEAT weapons ignore this additional armor.

- Realistic speed values for most vehicles
- All vehicles with thermals have increased optic strenght
- Seperated vehicle ammo types (e.g. tank AP and HE ammo) into individual weapons
- Adjusted various armor, penetration, range, accuracy and reload speed values to be more realistic
- All autocannons have their IRL rate of fire and more realistic fireing behaviour.
- Units carried by APCs/IFVs have a higher chance to survive the destruction of the APC/IFV.

- MARS/M270 is now a precision weapon, it fires 4 missiles with a small dispersion radius

- Decks with all units from one nation, and all units from NATO/WP
- Unlimited activation points

- On the todo list

- Improved unit availability reflecting real life TO&Es (partially implemented)
- Realistic more historically accurate battlegroups for Skirmish + AG
- high altitude bombing
- UI tweaks for more plane slots

- The AI cannot use FSPs properly
