✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly addresses two common balance complaints: PPCs feeling weak and missiles being too strong.
- Small but dedicated following (7 endorsements) suggests it works for some players.
- Lightweight mod with no dependencies, easy to try out.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 — may be incompatible with current game patches.
- Only 7 endorsements means it's not widely tested or community-vetted.
- No detailed documentation on exact changes, so you'll have to test in-game.
For Battletech players who feel PPCs are underpowered and missiles are too dominant. If you want a quick, personal balance tweak without overhauling the whole game, this might fit. Skip if you prefer comprehensive balance mods with active support.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, check if your game version is compatible before installing.
- Back up your original game files if you're manually installing, so you can revert if needed.
- Test in a skirmish match to see if the balance changes feel right for your playstyle.
