BACKGROUND
There are many small issues with current mods, which adversely effect 3CB's style of game play.  The idea of this mod is to allow the customisation of existing mods, for both server and client, that allows 3CB to adjust their behaviour to meet our requirements. The functionality will change over time, as and when configuration of external mods is required.
At present there is no intention to release this mod to the wider community as it's use is limited to the 3CB style gameplay. 

FEATURES
The following fixes and improvements have been made to the original mods:
- AGM bipod added to CUP L86A2, L110A1 and L7A2
- Allow barrel swapping enabled on CUP L110A1 and L7A2
- Added tracer ammo to CUP L85/86
- Added Beret's to standard loadout
- Added AGM items to standard loadout (inc. medical supplies, map tools and cable ties)
- Added RKSL LDS and PMII_312 to standard loadout
- Implemented ability to sling and stow a helmet/beret.  A slung helmet does not take up inventory space.  Uses AGM action menu
- Disabled AGM "join group" and "leave group" menu items
- Added TMR_Blastfrag
- Toned down AGM ear ringing.  Removed the sound reduction when wearing earplugs and also addded earplugs by default.
- Updated the STKR_BI backpack loadouts to be compatible with VAS
- Added AGM spare wheels and jerry cans to the Coyote and Jackal
- Added a crate loadout to the Coyote and Jackal based on the BAF_units loadout
- Added TFAR radio ID monitoring.  Checks for duplicate radio IDs, and warns player

Great additions.

Those Grenades are Deadly !!

Actually lobbed a couple into the bushes where sneaky russians were shooting us with no visual at all and Blam Blam... no more russians.

Really effective. But COVER Needed !

It doesn't appear, Lifetap was having issues where the helmet just didn't react the way he wanted it to on the body.  So when you sling the helmet it kind of disappears.

The skeletal model in Arma is a little bit "strange".  I can fix the helmet to a unit, but it behaves like it has full stabilisation.  It looks terrible, they'll have to stay invisible for now.

The problem is, it has a presence in the game world, but doesn't get attached properly so kinda rubber bands around.

Well that's my interpretation anyway

Wouldn't that be hard to do since every backpack is a different shape?

I did attach it to the backpacks initially, same problem.   What is required is to remodel every backpack in game with a helmet slung on the top

It's back on the public now, currently The Mannerheim Line.
Seems to be working great.

Yep Grenades now Properly dispense Fragmentation. out to significant distance.

Longer term we might need to look at distinguishing between grenade types, i.e. Defensive Fragmentation types that this simulates vs Offensive Shockwave only nades.
