Ammo Names (added info)

This mod adds a bit more detail to ammo names, as used in the various game readouts and message log. The point is to make it a bit clearer which weapons are being used. It otherwise changes nothing from the default game, and all weapons work exactly the same.

The names for ammunition are kept as short as possible; for most things, only the caliber is added. In others, I've added identifying information such as the weapon type, or a note in brackets in the end for special cases. These include:

1) For specific weapon types:
(m) - mortar
(g) - grenade
(r) - recoilless rifle

2) For SAMs - guidance method:
(O) - optical
(IR) - infra-red
(R) - radar
more than one for some systems, such as (O/IR)

3) For ATGMs - missile command link:
(W) - wire
(C) - radio command
(I) - infra-red
(L) - laser

NOTE: this mod takes the form of a standalone database, however only two files actually differ from the default (eras.xml and ammunition.xml).

To use this mod, the custom database must be activated via the launch menu (see the mod images above).
