Speaking of starshells. I reenabled them in GWX, but I find that somehow they behave differently from their stock (vanilla) behavior. Meaning: In vanilla SH3, IIRC from two years ago, when I was playing it, starshells could be fired at any distance, even at 1000 meters, and they started to burn somewhere up in the sky. Now, after reenabling them in GWX, if I fire them at any elevation closer than 8000 meters, they simply fall in the water. I must fire them at ~ 10 kms if I want them to stay in the sky and glow. And they are not much useful, if I'm chasing a lone merchant at 2 kms, want to see its flag, and the "lightbulb" in the sky glows so far away that it does not lighten up anything near me. Anyone noticed this behavior? Is there a known explanation to this?
