The saves might be helpful - unless you're using UC, in which I might not be able to test properly.

My guess is that some of these errors are related to something Wil473 mentioned after vehicle externalizations. If so, they stem from 1.13, not HAM, and will only be fixed when HAM is updated to the latest code (or merged into 1.13, whichever comes first). I have no estimate on when either of these things will happen, unfortunately. For now HAM tests only itself.

As to the others, they may or may not stem stem from HAM code, sounds like they might (and I stress, might) be caused by the Green Eggs, which means I'll have to alert Warmsteel - if and when he shows up. Again, if I can load the savegames properly, I'll see if I can solve these bugs myself - but that could take a while.

One important question though is whether you are still encountering these bugs with the latest HAM 5 version, because you reported them a while ago so I have to be sure.

[still] No point in using rifles (may change with scopes).

I'm hoping that Wil473's latest coolness reshuffle may solve this issue, because rifles without scopes are and should be pointless. Some rifle-specific scopes, like the ones we have for the older weapons (in vanilla 1.13 it's the ZF-42 or No.32), should appear early on, making the rifles that can take them worth using as DMRs in the early game. With little or not variable power, and no ability to install them on any automatic weapons, you'll have an early-game weapon for accurate fire at sight-range (and possibly beyond-sight-range).

[still] No point in using long barrel shotguns.

Perhaps shotgun pellets need to give normal suppression. Now that autofire is much more prevalent, shotguns should be allowed to suppress better, in keeping with the move towards realism. That is, when each pellet would cause as much suppression as a single bullet (or, at least, more than it does now). Similar to how fragmentation works.
