Drive-By CNTO Edition
Now there will be frantic rolling of windows. Not a phrase i expected to say.
Many bug fixes, lots of new stuff, better compatibility with ACE3. Fuck yeah!
@ STANAG mags allowed in M249 - Added for realism sake, tho it won’t be shown in the appearance.
Yay!
We are expecting ACE3 update but we also got RHS update, v0.3.9. This should be very interesting, let’s see what goodies we got and what annoyances were fixed.

They added the M27 IAR? Fuck yeah, now we can finally replace that bulky M249 with the sexy M27 
.
Also Howitzers and F-22
Im looking forward to the CH-53E, my favourite Helicopter in real-life
Well, if you read the wiki page on it, there are upsides and downsides. Maybe the upsides outweight the downsides, maybe not (in light of M4A1 already having full auto mode and M27 using 30-round mags). We’ll have to try and see, I guess.
I personally like the vanilla 30/100-round LMG (MX) concept, but I know we don’t use vanilla weapons (we like dark chocolate).
Yeah, I’d like it if we had larger cap mags for it. It just doesn’t make too much sense to me overall…and it never has. Given that the real world reasons for the gun don’t transfer, we’ll probably stick with the SAW for the most part.
In arma 2 ACE added C-mags (i think that was the name). That was a 100rnd magazin 556x45. You could put it on rifles, but you usually never did that. However it did open up alot of LMG capabilities. Would be nice to have it in ace3. Not suggesting that we should change from the saw. But I always like to have more possibilities.
Edit: It was Beta C-Mag the name was.
