## What it is
ACE3 is an open-source realism and authenticity mod for Arma 3, built as a collaborative merger of the ACE2, AGM, and CSE teams. It is modular, allowing teams to include or exclude components like the advanced medical system, ballistics, and a 3D interaction system.

## Use cases
- add realistic medical and wound treatment to Arma 3 missions
- improve ballistics and weapon realism in Arma 3
- get a 3D interaction system for Arma 3 gameplay
- customize a milsim modpack with modular Arma 3 components
- make Arma 3 missions more authentic for milsim units
- extend third-party weapon mods with ACE3 compatibility optionals

## When to choose
- you run or play Arma 3 and want realistic gameplay mechanics
- you build milsim or realism-focused Arma 3 missions or modpacks
- you need a modular mod you can tailor by removing PBOs

## When to avoid
- you play games other than Arma 3
- you want arcade-style, simplified Arma 3 gameplay
- you cannot install the required CBA_A3 dependency
