📋 About This Mod

This mod aims to mostly debuff M Lasers, SRMs, and LRMs.

The changes are also applied on the +, ++,  +++, ER, and Pulse variants

You can view the exact changes in the image. These are the guidelines on them:

- Brings it in line with the other ACs

- Reduced range to reduce the threat of multi AC20 tanks

M Laser nerf

- Less damage to make it more equal per tonnage against other weapons

- Reduced damage and balance as its damage and knockdown potential were way too good

- Introduced a rising recoil to favour not shooting every round (a skilled pilot can negate the recoil completely)

- Slightly reduced critical in line with LRM changes

- Fixed a bug introduced with the patch where the Holly SRM6+ had -1 accuracy

- Fixed a bug introduced with the patch where the Holly SRM6++ had -5 accuracy

- Introduced a rising recoil to favour not shooting every round (a skilled pilot cannot negate the recoil completely)

- Reduced critical since it can by default roll for it 5-20 times

- S Laser damage nerfed to bring it in line with the new M Laser

- Flamer damage buffed to make 25% and 50% cover mean more against it (5/3/2 to 8/6/4)

Installation

In your Battletech folder, navigate to "BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data\weapon" and replace/overwrite the files with the ones contained in the zip.

I suggest making a copy of the weapon folder if you wish to undo the modifications (on Steam you can verify files if you forgot to do this).

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

A balance mod for a game that aims to equalize weapon effectiveness, preventing players from being funneled into a narrow set of optimal choices. It also includes bug fixes. With only 5 endorsements and last updated in 2018, it's a niche mod with limited community traction.

✨ Key Features

Rebalances weapons to make them fairly equal in effectiveness
Includes bug fixes alongside the balance changes
Aims to prevent funneling players into a specific array of weapons

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Directly addresses a common complaint in many games: weapon imbalance
  • Includes bug fixes, which is a nice bonus beyond just tweaking numbers
  • Small but dedicated following (5 endorsements) suggests it works for those who use it

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2018 — likely outdated and may not work with current game versions
  • Very low endorsement count (5) means few players have tested or vouched for it
  • No details on which weapons are changed or how, so you're going in blind
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who are tired of using the same few weapons because they're objectively better. If you want a more varied arsenal and don't mind potential compatibility issues, this might be worth a shot. Skip if you're happy with the current balance or want a more comprehensive overhaul.
