📋 About This Mod
Simple rebalance mod to improve the usefulness of Gyros which provide hit defence:
-
[]Friedhof Gyro Osprey changed from +1 to +2
[
]Friedhof Gyro+ Kite changed from +2 to +4 - Friedhof Gyro++ Sparrow changed from +3 to +6
Each +1 gives 5% of hit defence. So the Sparrow would give +30% hit defence.
Together with a decent Pilot and Jumping Jet getting +12, one can gain a max of +18 =+90% hit defence....well until the barrage of 8 enemy mechs had their go.....
Currently, in my debugging i found that the game has some issues when calculating the HIT CHANCE, at least when looking at the combat debugging logs.
- occasional 2. 5% are round up (ie worse for the player)
- sometimes calculations are out by 10% or so...no idea why
This mod requires both the BattleTech Mod Loader and ModTek by Mpstark to work properly. (Huge!! Thanks to Mpstark!)
Installation is simple: Install BTML and ModTek if you haven't already, then extract this zip to your BATTLETECH/Mods directory.
A simple equipment mod that doubles the Hit Defence rating of all three Friedhof Gyros, making them more useful for defensive builds. With 13 endorsements and last updated in 2018, it's a niche tweak for players who want stronger defensive gear.
