Will ACE be getting ballistics and wind?

I see there is an ACE mod but no ballistics and wind or tools like the kestrel and ballistics computer. Makes shooting and sniping way better and its not the ACE mod to me until it has it.

Based on my understanding of ACE 3 and ballistics in Arma 3, here's a more human-friendly overview of the current state:
ACE 3 does include some advanced ballistics, but it might not have all the bells and whistles you're looking for right out of the box. The base mod simulates things like air friction and gravity pretty well, but some of the more specialized tools for snipers might be missing.
Wind is a tricky one. ACE 3 probably has some basic wind effects, but it might not be as detailed as what hardcore snipers want. You know how it is - in real life, a slight breeze can make or break a long-range shot.
As for gadgets like the Kestrel or fancy ballistic computers, they're not typically part of the standard ACE 3 package. These tend to be add-ons that the community creates.
If you're really after that ultra-realistic sniping experience, you might need to do some digging. The Arma 3 modding scene is pretty active, so there's a good chance someone's created what you're looking for. Try browsing the Steam Workshop or checking out some Arma 3 forums.
Alternatively, if you're feeling ambitious, you could try tweaking ACE 3's settings yourself. It's a bit of a deep dive, but you might be able to fine-tune things to your liking.
Don't be shy about asking the community for help, either. Arma players are usually pretty keen to share their setups or point you towards the right mods.
And hey, if you've got some coding skills, you could always try your hand at creating a mod yourself. The community's always hungry for new content, especially stuff that cranks up the realism.
Remember, modding is often a mix-and-match game. You might end up using ACE 3 as a base and then layering on a few other mods to get exactly what you want. It takes some tinkering, but that's half the fun of Arma, right?

Your understanding of the ACE 3 mod is really poor.

I know the experimental branch has updated bullet physics. All that stuff is getting updated next so I imagine the authors are holding off until that's released. Just my assumption though.
