I really don't think it is that easy. For starters, I agree, the default NCTH is not great. The main reason why it's not great will not be fixed by any kind of changes to CTHConstants. They are perfectly fine at this point. The main problem is that default weapon progression is made for OCTH and NCTH requires completely different approach. In NCTH a pistol should never be a primary weapon, just like it's not in any military or paramilitary organization in the world. Ammo is a bit too hard to find in sufficient quantities as NCTH is designed to require more shots to score hits. And so on and on. There are many such small things that are symptoms of halfassed NCTH adoption, which is probably a neccessity at this point, as long as we can't have different weapons used/dropped for NCTH/OCTH games.

Now, the not so main problem, but the one that gets most of the complaints is that NCTH works differently from OCTH. Which it is designed to do. That was the whole point of NCTH. And it is perfectly reasonable thing to dislike it if you prefer OCTH kind of game. But a thread like this is only going to end up with answers to the question how to make NCTH more OCTH-ish, not how to make NCTH better. And that shouldn't be a goal.

You want better NCTH? Install SDO and give it a try. It works more or less just the way the NCTH should. Of course, it's not perfect, but it as at least as good at doing what NCTH is designed to do as OCTH is at doing it's thing. It plays differently of course and if you insist on using it the way you're used in OCTH, you're going to suck.

Now, of course, as long as the things are editable, it's not all that important. I can always adjust setting more to my liking, and I have zero intention of telling anyone how to play the game... but the problem is that as long as the main criteria for judging NCTH is how much like OCTH it is, although it is specifically designed to work completely the other way, there will be no good enough implementation for NCTH. They will always be either not OCTH enough or go the extremes where the complete point of NCTH is lost.
