(8.X) - Simple Combat Overhaul

I have made the decision to no longer support this mod for future versions of X4 due do constant breaking changes with major updates.

If you want to continue using this mod make sure to run any of the compatible versions (8. X).

If you want to play on newer versions of the game make sure to uninstall the mod and to make a cleansave before updating your game.

Disclaimer:

This mod is still very much 'work-in-progress' and as such possibly unbalanced and may break stuff, so backup your saves or dont use it on important ones!

Description:

The goal of this mod is to balance combat slightly differently and making it more interesting while still keeping the "vanilla feel" to it.

Due to the nature of this mod it is, and always will be, incompatible with VRO!

A list with detailed changes can be found below.
