Tony indeed has miserable stockpile of weapons and especially ammo, but maybe it is connected with difficulty level.

In General i noticed that i got Rifles like FN FAL, M16A4 etc mutch faster than any AK. And they still drop only FN FALs, SGs, M16s etc it seems like the whole AK series are a bit on short here especially the 5.45x39mm (RPK-74 is beast haha) is this on purpose? Even then i played with Drop All items on off i got in the first sectors of Onegro M16A4s etc.

About Maria

Well i cant take her with me. She says that she has to be quiet now and rusuming her work. Cant Talk with Angel either, he wants just to sell me his jacket - friendly & direct approach dont work for me.

Maria, automatically joins the squad after having met Angel.
Like Skryider, there's some time between the end of the quest and her joining the squad.
After having talked to Angel, Maria will leave the leather shop and, once standing on the road, join the player's squad.
In that time between the end of the quest (history log beeps) and her joining, the player can go to the strategic screen if he doesn't want Maria to join the squad.

So its not like vanilla becouse u cant recruit her in vanilla to fight with u. I talk with Angel with a MERC with 98 Leadership he does not give me any quest, well pcm says i only have to met him so i go to maria and she dont want to join me to go to angel.

Thanks @Xafloz

To the weapons, i still find thompsons in a game progression of 80/80. In my whole play trough i only found 2-3 AKM's and 2 RPKs. I usually get some MGs some Snipes and only western european weapons. And the rest are armed with trash like thompsons and other smgs. Since i liberated Malino, they started to drop some AK-103s and AK-104s. I understand that they are likely to take nato weapons but in my opinion they should drop more AKs becouse i dont think that the army should walk with some guys equipped with thompsons and the other with higher tier fn fals, sgs and top mg's. Its just pretty unbalanced in my eyes. Especially when the elites start to drop Automatic Rocket Rifles before any other top tier rifle. In some way RPG 7s found their way into the country but aks not.

Have to visit Tony maybe there i get my satisfaction

Everything works exactyl like in vanilla until the end of the quest, after you bring her to Angel, get bla bla bla, kevlar leather and useless deed, Maria gets auto recruited (unless you interrupt it like it says up there). Went through that 3 or 4 times with no problem, so can't really say what is the problem, it works flawlessly for me

Hey guys, could anyone explain to me in layman terms how damage dealt is calculated and also what values affect remaining AP`s after being shot? Penetration values are all very similar of all ammuntion so as of now it takes 2-3 shots to the torso from 5.56 and 7.62 NATO rounds to drop a bad guy. I guess it depends on the gun itself and not the ammo? Still I find it a bit annoying that grunts take 2 shots or a 3 round burst to the chest and they keep shooting back happily. My lvl 7+ mercs get hit once and they are unable to retaliate or move or do anything really,all while wearing good body armour. Igor just got hit by an m2 carbine to the chest with full health wearing a close to 100% kevlar with ceramic plates and got knocked out for 3 rounds. I shot the shooter,a red shirt sergeant, in the head with a Steyr scout for 50% damage from less than 20 tiles away. Needless to say he crawled behind cover just to return the next round to fight. It seems as of now, assault rifles only hold advantage over smg`s by effective range.

AP_GET_WOUNDED_DIVISOR  = 1
BP_GET_HIT              = 200
BP_GET_WOUNDED          =  50

Is there any way to overhaul penetration and/or damage dealt by weapons for the next release?

APBPConstants.ini

AP_GET_WOUNDED_DIVISOR  = 1
BP_GET_HIT              = 200
BP_GET_WOUNDED          =  50

I'm not familiar with the 7609 experimental exe but if it uses Item_Settings.ini then you can at least modify damage and other properties of the different weapon types.

Actual damage dealt is not the value in the gun description. The gun description shows only the base damage value of the gun + modifiers. This is done to give the player something to compare guns.

In current 1.13 this base value is calculated like:
- get base value from weapon
- multiply by type multiplier from Item_Settings.ini
- add bonuses from attachments
- multiply by GUN_DAMAGE_MODIFIER percent from Ja2_Options.ini

To get the damage dealt there are multiple calculations done that depend on many things, for example gun range to shot distance ratio, armor piercing modifiers, HP ammo, bonus for high hit chance and if it's a critical hit or not. If you want to know precise formulas you will have to dig through the code.

Also, how to increase the accuracy of weapons ? I definitely miss too much

@cbasd,

you must read. I wrote "former Version"! (The Version we had in dec. 2016).

3. Don't allow enemy to suppress your mercs, as suppression will reduce effective marksmanship and dexterity greatly
