On a semi-related topic, has anyone replaced the mod's ...\Data-AFS\CTHConstants.INI with the one from stock v1.13? I'd like to see if the "ironsight" modifications added years ago are still needed (this will effectively nerf non-scope use, though down to the current stock performance rather than the very contentious ones of stock NCTH in the early days).


Last time I gave AFS a serious try I straight out replaced CTHConstants with one from SDO which is even a bit harsher than stock one, and can't say that I noticed any problems, but maybe my standards are skewed, so probably more people should weigh in cheeky

Now, I believe that there are 2 problems that warp early game pretty seriously so that getting a bit less performance from weapons is not an issue.

First is overperformance of guns equipped with AR-15 telescopic stock. I think that it gives a bit too strong bonus. I'll give an example, in fact the same one where I noticed it definitely, my marksman IMP got an Excel Arms X30 as his starting rifle, and noticed that it outperforms Ruger Mini 14 that I found in San Mona. Made an example screenshot now, all weapons are in hand of newly made level 1 Sniper IMP, at 28 tiles range, equipped with Tactical Iron sights only, clean AFS install I made now.

First gun is the aforementioned Excel Arms X30, the one with AR-15 telescopic stock. Second is Hezi SM-1, rifle that is basically the same as X30, except it has a bit better gun handling, but no telescopic stock. Third is Ruger Mini 14 that should be a bit of an upgrade, considering higher range and better accuracy. X30 outperforms them both (while showcasing some fucking Simo Häyhä level of iron sights performance at more or less 300 meters cheeky)


The second issue is super low recoil on 22LR auto weapons. That makes them perform almost laser like, and it's super easy to land huge number of consequential hits. And then there is of course the combination of both problems in form of CAR-223 for example. It has recoil value of 1.0 and comes with AR-15 telescopic stock. It's just too good early, when armor to negate 22LR is rare.
