would be handy if we had verbose logging where stated is:
- what loadout/strange and/or festive
- what hats/effects
and a cross link with if replay got garbled....
couple dozen of those combinations will prolly get some direction in what to
look for.
and a look into the physics doing way more distance punch with explosions etc
then should be would maybe also be handy in this regards...
