Project ARES Rake5000 Edits

ARES Rake5000 Edition

A personal tweak to Project ARES, adding individual unit upgrades, equipment changes, and quality-of-life improvements.

=====================
Changes & Adjustments
=====================

== Unit Upgrades ==
- Delta Force now has individual unit upgrades (like vanilla Rangers) unlocked that cost Battle Honors.

== Mobility Adjustments ==
- All helmets now have the same mobility as Airframes, allowing visual distinction without forcing Airframes use to avoid mobility penalties.

== Equipment & Gear ==

- **Healing Items**
- First Aid Kit available to Assaulters (extra gear panel, alternative to glowsticks).
- First Aid Kit heals 50 HP instead of 35, often allowing recovery from yellow to green after a single hit.
- Medical Bag heals 100 HP instead of 50, allowing full recovery from critical (red) wounds.
- Fixed a bug where First Aif Kits often wouldn't heal and increased radius to ease use.

- **Weapons**
- HK417 available to all Operators.
- Ultimax-100 LMG and MK48 MOD 1 LMG available to Assaulters and Enablers 3 & 4.

- **Optics**
- Operators now have access to the Holosight XPS3, like Enablers, instead of just the XPS2/551.
- Aimpoint T2 Red Dot available to Operators on the 416 Custom, like Enablers.

- **Breachers’ Gear**
- 3x slaps available.
- 2x and 3x torches available.

== 9 Bang Adjustments ==
- Same as my 'Realistic Grenades and Explosives' mod
- No fire effect, no smoke effect.
- Reduced sound effect loudness, but noise range remains unchanged.

== Cosmetic & Visual Tweaks ==
- All clothing cosmetics unlocked.
- New black Airframe design for Team Leader.
- Some helmet designs swapped (e.g., MICH Gunfighter for Breachers & Assaulters).
- Ballcaps swapped for Operator 1 and 6.
