The files you will need to mod are all in the game install folder under \data\base. Weapons.txt is the primary weapon data but you may also want to modify related data in vehicles.txt (armor values) and elements.txt (protection values.)

There isn't a data workbook for Modern Tactics (these were not developed until later releases) but you can use the data workbook from a newer version of Close Combat to get a very good idea on the format of these files and what the data values mean. I recommend the workbook from Last Stand Arnhem: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 1&t=206646

Thx for the info. Not sure its really worth my time learning how to mod this game come to think of it. Really disappointed the devs didnt do this themselves :evil: . Have you heard by any chance of a mod that fixes most of the inaccuracies?

I haven't tracked the mods scene for Modern Tactics so I'm afraid I can't recommend any mods. CCS is probably the better place to ask after this.

Here is the most recent CCMT Data Book I founded on forums.
It works ok, I use it to mods teams and units
