There are some Backpacks that could be included, like this:

Its clearly the pouch for an E-Tool, but I'm leaning on leaving them out. Thoughts?

My vote: include. I think most would prefer the pouch being used for its purpose by default.

I have mixed feelings about adding a compat for 3CB mods, as they provide most of the ACE compat already. Furthermore, it adds extra maintenance.
If 3CB has stopped developing for Arma 3 (or only minor updates come out, like for RHS towards the end) then the maintenance isn't an issue, so I'd be fine with adding missing or correcting existing ACE compat.

I can understand that. The last Update for 3CB Equipment ist from Jan 2022. It seems unlikely to me there is a major update coming.

Sorry got confused by the 2 PRs. 3CB Factions seems somewhat active. I ok with not merging this.

I feel like config changes where we are just adding ace_ properties are much safer and have little chance of causing problems

So I have no problem adding this but either way we should decide what we want to do here

I consider both 3CB Equipment and 3CB Factions as stale. 3CB Equipment had its last update in 2022, Factions just over a year ago in 2024. Yes, this would a little extra maintenance but considering the frequency of updates for these mods I doubt this is going to be an issue.

if they aren't updating then it's more important we do the compats here

I'd like to talk to the 3CB team first to see what's exactly up, but otherwise agree.
EDIT: I'm getting in touch with someone on their team.
