Doesn't work with cfgAmmo & few other classes. (Since 1.69, cfgAmmo should be mergeable!) Merging config file means also that you can't delete parameters through diag_mergeConfigFile. Changes applied by diag_mergeConfigFile are applied to all new entities so restart of mission is not necessarily  required - spawning vehicle again or changing back forth weapon should usually do the trick.
