✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but dedicated following (5 endorsements) — this is for hardcore BT:CE players who want finer loadout control.
- The 1/4-ton Endo-Steel increments are a godsend for min-maxing tonnage on tight builds.
- Simple, focused concept — no bloat, just the armor flexibility you asked for.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 5 endorsements — this is a niche mod for a niche mod, so expect limited community support.
- Last updated May 2026 — if BT:CE patches after that, this might break without warning.
For Battletech Extended - Tactics players who obsess over every half-ton of armor and want more granular upgrade options. Skip if you're on vanilla Battletech or want anything beyond armor tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're running Battletech Extended - Tactics (CE) — this mod won't work on vanilla.
- Check your mech's available tonnage before applying upgrades; the 1/4-ton steps let you squeeze in extra armor where you couldn't before.
- Since there's no install guide, drop the files into your BT:CE mods folder and test in a skirmish first.
