=THIS MOD WONT BE COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER DIFFICULTY/WEAPON TWEAK MODS, UI CHANGING AND SKIN MODS STILL WORK FINE=

 





If yes to any of these, welcome to Enhanced Gunplay Version A4.0 Gauntlet Edition! - A mod that will change your flight experience for the better or worse.
Enhanced Gunplay was developed with the milestone goal to alleviate the inherent flaws of Ace Combat 7 and its troubled development history.
But also doing more to make the game challenging and refreshing to new and experienced players of the game series.

Core features:
1. Better Guns and Gunplay - Has been reworked and added on to make aircraft guns on various planes more unique and functional and also being your most powerful weapon rewarding skillful maneuvering over fire and forget.
2. AI and Difficulty - Has been overhauled to give a more challenging experience. Ground targets and air defenses are no longer fresh meat, Enemy aircraft are more aggressive, persistent, and now carry special weapons.
3. Modded Missions - Ace of Aces missions have been reworked to give an enhanced experience with options to face higher AI aggression, increased number of enemy spawns at start, or face the ultimate Gauntlet of fighting the world.
4. Special Weapons - Have been reworked and enhanced to be more functional and effective. Weapon Load Counts are now physically dependent on number of pylons mounted on aircraft than being fixed to a set count of 2, 4, 6.
5. Enhanced Plane Parts - Reworked parts system with higher performance visibility in addition of Level 2 and 3 parts now available to use in Singleplayer mode.
6. New Flight Model - Post Stall Maneuver mechanics has been replaced with full manual High-G Supermaneuverability. Plane stats have been adjusted to have higher flight ceiling and more varied performance across the selection.

System requirements:
A strong CPU / GPU computer. This mod exploits and pushes the game to it's limits. Stability is not guaranteed on weak systems.
E.G. A Modern AMD Ryzen CPU series or Intel Skylake CPU series or better (More cores the better specially if you stream/record gameplay).
Minimum: Radeon RX 470 8GB / Nvidia GTX 1060ti 6GB

If you are experiencing crashes or undesired changes, please make sure you do not have other mods installed that may conflict with the features of this mod.

// Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
1. I am getting a crash how do I report?
Answer: When the game crashes, press the okay button then open notepad and CTRL+V to paste the crash log. The game will tell you what is at fault.

2. CIWS keeps shooting down all my missiles help!!
Answer: The strategy is to get close enough to the target and fire your salvo or use your primary MSL salvo as decoy and switch to SPW and fire away.

3. I keep getting shot down by enemy SPW!!
Answer: Try equipping Armor, Fire Extinguisher and Jammer parts to reduce enemy damage effectiveness against you.

4. In Mission 16 I keep getting shot down by Unknown AA-Guns.
Answer: The strategy is to fly fast with afterburners while having your camera locked on to the Unknown Target while fly past them.

5. AA-Guns/CIWS are too strong and too accurate.
Answer: The strategy is to keep flying in unpredictable patterns or flight path to keep the AA-Gun/CIWS FCS tracking busy. A barrel-roll dive helps for example. If it is too hard then try another AI_Weapon_Difficulty.pak.

Have fun ~ ElectronicOldMen / Gamingroach.

=========================================
Version - A2.1 Patch notes:
Cdn.discordapp.com
Major - All AA-Gun projectile system has been reworked to be a direct projectile system vs particle VFX system.
This may have performance impact for weaker systems due to thousands of independent bullet entities filling the sky but the tradeoff is more accurate environmental danger to the player
as stray bullets from AA will hurt the player vs the particle VFX system had a ray check system that only register damage
when only targeting the player, making it a cosmetic annoyance and ruins immersion.
This new projectile system will impose greater danger to new and experienced players as the new system does not have a damage tick rate
but now based on what is physically there and what hits you will hurt you, so if you want to stay alive you may wanna
pay attention to enemy AA-guns and CIWS as they are potentially more danagerous than SAMs in low and mid altitude.
If players do not like this change there will be an optional pak file for the previous Version A2 AA-Gun / CIWS settings.
1. Directional Proximity Fuze (MSL) Lv. 1 has its icon changed to match its parts category.
2. Takeoff Weight Augmentation (MSL) Lv. 1 has its modifier changed to multiplier from additive. Value changed from 200 to 1.5

10. AI tank and artillery weapons now have FCS targeting foresight.
11. All Player Guns projectile lifetime has been reduced from 4 seconds to 3 seconds (20mm); 3 seconds to 2 seconds (30mm);
12. AIPlane_Pawn.uasset has its default AI manuever tables set to "ADF11_agt_*" behavior tables.
14. QAAM has its HomingForesightAmount increased but its homing rotatation angle decreased.
15. All other Air-to-Air Special Weapons have their homing foresight increased to 0.75 from 0.50
16. Multiplayer default machine gun stats should now have increased rate of fire of 6000 RPM from 1200 RPM.
17. All Global AI configs are removed from Difficulty folder ( /Blueprint/AI/Difficulty/ ) in EOM_EnhancedGunplay_AI_P.pak to allow compatibility with other difficulty mods.
18. Major AA & Guns rework. All AI guns projectile velocities have been increased to Mil-Sim levels.
19. All naval vessels are now more agressive and will even fire their large caliber guns at the player.
20. All ground and naval actors have their FCS search and track radius drastically increased.

5. Fixed DLC Mission AI weapon behavoir not applying eg, AA gun & CIWS fire rate, Increased targeting range vs the player, added VLS volley to Alicorn.

8. LACM has its blast radius reduced to 300 meters from 500 meters to keep it in consistent with its VFX explosion graphics.

19. SOD has its flight speed reduced to transonic levels (can be outrun by the player) but has its flight range greatly increased comparable to LACM.
20. All AI Actor SAM and VLS have their FCS activation range increased. (needs more testing but not getting expected results.)
21. MPBM can now fire 2 missiles per volley.
22. Added new mod module - EnhancedGunplay_AllAmmo2X_P.pak - Increases all base game ammo by two times their amount.

9. All AA guns and CIWS have their stats adjusted for better visually consistent firing rate and more damage tick rate.
10. EnhancedGunplay_SPW.pak has been updated, many SPW loadout, lock-on ranges, and flight time have been increased to more fairly realistic levels, for BVR like peformance with some SPW missiles simply equip some SPW range buff parts.
11. UGB, GPB, SFFS, XSDB, 4AAM, 6AAM, 8AAM, LAAM, X4AGM, X8AGM now have a variable load count depending on the aircraft chosen and their weapon pylons carry amount for example, an A-10 can now drop all 14 carried bombs vs 2 with an Su-47, etc. an F-14 can fire All its 6 LAAM in a single volley while other planes may fire less per volley (4 or 2)

3. PLSL RPM hotfix, corrected to 600 from 1200 RPM, now fires 2 shots per volley vs 1 (whats the point of mounting 2 on a plane PA?)
4. Added PlaneDataTable for increased ammo loadout for all planes to compesnate increased rate of fire.
5. MGP projectile spawn angle increased to 2 from 1 (more bullet spread & better hit probability against ground and air)
6. Various guns have their projectile spawn angle increased, this is to encourage the use of gun parts if the player wants a tighter spread.
7. Added optional Pak file for players that prefer vanilla gun raycast settings.
8. Damage have been toned down slightly to encourage use of gun parts.
