EricJ Weapons Pack

RC121
- Added Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail rounds for the MX, using the Magazine Well system. These can be used in lieu of the normal MX mags to give some more punch when engaging targets. It is available only for the MX, MXM, MXC, and MX SW in 30-round and 100-round versions for all colors of the stock MX rifle.
- RPG7 can now use BIS Ammo. Note it uses the Magazine Well, so if other mods (Like CUP for example) use it, you can use their ammo too.
- Incorporated the Magazine Well system on 5.56mm weapons, either expanding some options for BIS mags, and expanding some weapons capability for ammo use.
- SCAR 6.5CL weapons use MX Magazine Well system for further magazine expansion.
- Removed the US Militia Offroads.
- AI should now engage helicopters, etc. with ammo tweaks, and adjusted costs to make them shoot it more, using the BIS default for rounds.

EricJ Taliban Fighters

RC23
- Added a generic "Afghan PMC" faction to the Independent side (for mission creation, etc.). Unfortunately I think that they wore traditional garb instead of uniforms, as was not mentioned in the book I read that inspired this faction. Overall they're limited to a few fighters, and kept the recruits out of it, but they're just repurposed Afghan Militia units. If I find (or if you have some references) more reference material to suggest a uniform, then I will in the future make one, and go from there.
- RPG7 can now use BIS Ammo. Note it uses the Magazine Well, so if other mods (Like CUP for example) use it, you can use their ammo too.

Better Infantry

RC3
- Added a BLUFOR Helicopter Pilot armed with an MXC instead of the Varmin SMG, and improved sight
- Added a few more of the Men (Special Forces) to the mix, with enhanced Boat Tail rounds that I added to give them more lethality.

ADuke Kiowa Warrior

RC24
- Added a requested Pilot View for the MMS for solo players. Unfortunately it can't rotate a full 360 degrees, but does handle more of the front arc of the helicopter.

Flanker562 EF Boat Tail Rounds

RC1
- First Release

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3615318808

Flanker562 Weapons Pack

RC122
- Added M995 ammo to most (excluding the L85) 5.56mm weapons in the pack. It comes in 30-round and 100 C-Mag configurations, in both regular and desert-colored mags. The magazines can also work in stock 5.56mm weapons with the magazine well system. Note due to the proxies it may not "fit" right and so will have some graphical oddities beyond my control.
- TF Black units now use M995 ammo instead of the Mk262 ammo.
- Added a Task Force Black Team Leader.

Flanker562 Air Defense Containers

RC7
- Added a radar-equipped AAA turret. I had intended to add an airburst function derived from the Expeditionary Forces CDLC. However due to limitations, I cannot code the function due to restrictions to that CDLC.

Flanker562 Weapons Pack

RC124
- Added a 1st Armored Division patch for Insignia
- Added an 82nd Airborne Division patch for Insignia
- Added an MX-specific suppressor, a Surefire model, in Tan and Black, designed for the MX series of weapons. Due to the config and possible loadout breaking, I only added them for MX-specific muzzles.

Flanker562 Helicopter Pack

Armored SUV

RC9
- Added a small PMC faction, the Aston Group International, which is using stock BIS suits and Protector SMGs. This won't evolve into something greater, and is set for the Civilian faction, to denote a feeling of neutrality in a warzone. I may switch it to Independent, but I'll wait for user feedback first, if I need to change the faction affiliation.

Flanker562 Helicopter Pack

RC176

- Removed a model error that popped up when using the Flanker562 Weapon Pack in regards to model issues.
- Task Force 562 units now carry RGO grenades instead of RGN grenades.

- The Task Force 562 pre-defined squad I replaced some of the Rifleman with a UAV, Grenadier, and a MAR10 Sharpshooter operator
- Task Force 562 Offroad has datalink capability
- Task Force 562 Offroad has backpacks and magazines (along with stock FAKs) as standard

Flanker562 Wipeout Skins

RC15
- Aircraft from this mod have in-built full datalink

EricJ Taliban Fighters

RC24

Flanker562 Weapons Pack

RC125
- Tweaked Surefire suppressor textures, adding some noise to give a better appearance to them when looked at up close.
- Pistols with underside rails now use ASDG instead of the vanilla system. Note that I don't take any responsibility for misaligned mods or otherwise have no control of what other modders have for the pistol slot.
- Added an ACP-C2-specific laser pointer, made by Ibex.
- Added an ACP-C2-specific tactical flashlight, made by Ibex.
- Ibex pistol attachments no longer attach to rifles, only to pistols with the ASDG system
- Added Tan versions of the ACP-C2 flashlight and laser.
- Removed the troublesome visible laser from the mod. I had thought it was CBA_A3, but no, it was an old script done years ago. It seems to be more troublesome to keep than actually useful. I recommend searching the Arma 3 Steam Workshop for Visible Lasers that meet these needs. Unfortunately as of release I have no replacement, and not sure (after using some myself) would be able to configure it for a specific mod to recommend. When I do I will announce it on the Steam page and my Discord.
- Removed a model error that popped up when using the Flanker562 Helicopter Pack in regards to model issues.
