Poke's Combat Overhaul:What's up gals and lads!
Poke's Combat Overhaul adds balanced weapons and reworks or removes vanilla weapons.
This weapon overhaul aims for well balanced, fun and realistic(ish) gameplay.Why this mod:I wanted to create a perfect combat mod for myself since vanilla combat isn't very in depth.
This mod is based on Combat Realism and High Caliber. Two mods that I enjoyed playing very much.
Sadly Combat realism doesn't feature so many Weapons and High Caliber, although it offers a high weapon count, went for a very realistic approach and eg the rifles were almost all the same thing. With this mod I mix realism and immersion for more varying gunplay and more tactical choices for the player.
Features:All Ranged weapons have been removed, replaced or rebalanced:- The weapons that define one category in Vanilla have been spread over multiple new weapons.
- Each weapon of a category excels at fighting certain enemies at certain ranges based on real world statistics and usage.
- Damage values are much higher than those of weapons in vanilla. Every shot counts.
- Rate of fire based and bullet velocity based on real world values.
- Shotguns fire multiple bullets at the same time instead of one big lump.
- Market values, work requirement and resource requirement have been rebalanced in accordance with weapons' new power.
- Weapons have penalties to the pawns movement speed and work speed when equipped.
All Melee weapons have been rebalanced:
- All weapons have been replaced and been divided into three groups.
- Tools that boost different types of work speed have been added.
- Melee weapons are far more useful than in vanilla.
- Cooldown timers are massively reduced.
- Body parts like the bionic arm are also buffed.
- Weapons have penalties to the pawns movement speed and work speed when equipped.
Immersion and Realism:- Each weapon in this weapon overhaul fills a different role. Players are encouraged to be creative when using weapons.
- All weapons have been designed to be as realistic as possible without ruining gameplay and making something too powerful compared to others.
- All weapons have been designed to be immersive for the player. Sometimes at the cost of realism.
- Warmuptimes and Cooldown timers have been changed to be more realistic.
- Realistic gun sounds.
Others:- Turrets are rebalanced and new types are added.
- New types of armor are added.
- Embasures are impassible walls with high cover that allow you to shoot through.
- Barbed Wire slows down raiders without giving them cover bonuses.
- Research surrounding weaponry have been reworked.

Issue and Response:I: Research tree looks ugly af.
R: The research tree in Rimworld is coded pretty bad :(. I can't do much about it for now, especially when multiple mods are active. I will try to place it as visually pleasing as possible when only this mod is active though.

Fixed, its public now. Nothing huge will change in stats so far im thinking, unless something is blatantly broken and I've overlooked something in first wave balancing. Next update will be more fine tuned. I will add new Info to the spreadsheet though.
v1.1 has been released!
This update only fixes some bugs and makes (heavy) tweaks to many weapons.
Thanks to all the people that reported the bugs and the people who helped with balancing!

Combat Realism closed bcs planned to reborn as Combat Extended by his creator, not me.
v1.3 is the latest version for Alpha 16! This update reworks the entire melee weapon system, replacing all weapons. These huge changes should give melee more identity. Small changes were also mad to Neolithic weapons. This update also makes changes to all military armor. This update will most likely break any saves.

Not really. Of course I might add armor types weapons that look similar too other mods, I am not looking to copy paste from others when considering new equipment.
As for adding weapon in general, I am currently very content with our current lineup of modern and medieval weapons. I might add a few more, but expect more futuristic weapons in following updates.
Armor types are not yet where I want them to be, so expect plenty of changes in the future.
I hope this answers your question enough.
Sorry guys for being so late. The mod is now fully compatible with alpha 17 and 17B!
v1.4 (09/05/2017) A17

- Small bug fixes
