Hit of certain projectiles and explosions. FX is not adequate ( Christmas fireworks instead of a realistic burst )
New, UrgentPublic

Description

Since the release of Global Mobilisation DLC, I've been worried about the ugly and inappropriate FX on projectile hits and also explosions.
For some reason, both some small explosions and BRDM/BTR/ZSU projectiles hits will have the same FX.
It looks like anything, but not projectile hit or a not explosion. Sparks can be tolerated if the projectile hits metal, but fireworks happen even when the projectile hits soft ground/grass surface/wood surfaces!
The player sees Christmas fireworks, instead of weapon hit splashes/explosions, which would correspond to the impact surface.

I did video example:

Please fix this issue, because it looks ridiculous. It makes GM less serios. In addition, it takes away the game performance, cause in case of multiple hits from the ZSU-23 (has a high rate of fire and spawns many particles at one point!) the game will need to generate hundreds of thousands of unnecessary particles

Good day!

Today I received GM update 1.5 and I was hoping you would fix this christmas fireworks, but no! It is still in place.
@GM, you've created beautiful vehicles that can't be compared in quality to any other mods, but I have no desire to play this because I have to watch stupid, unrealistic fireworks every time the projectiles hit.

Huge request to remove the fireworks, and make normal hit FX, as is done in vanilla Arma3 and in all mods!
