  127. (Dev Note: Consider these changes to motorized just the initial steps towards not only improving the balance of the equipment relative to others, but also setting up the light and heavy equipment variants to be able to better viably coexist, unlike in the current split where heavy motorized is more or less always the preferred option. These changes do still leave the numbers in some weird spots in a lot of places, and motorized will receive further touchups to respond to that in the next couple patches to come to make sure it's left in a healthy place long term even if this leaves its position a strange one for the time being.)

  186.  
  187. # Refined Warfare
  188. Concentration of Force Infantry Organisation +6 changed to Army
  189. Rapid Deployment Infantry and Special Forces Maximum Speed +10% changed to Army
  190. Walking Tanks Heavy Special Forces Soft and Hard Attack +10% -> +8%, Infantry Defense +5% changed to Army
  191. (Dev Note: We're mostly happy with the results of the Refined changes in 4.1.12, but while pushing the use of some units specifically is partly desirable, we think in hindsight that not all of the changes which did that were warranted. These revisions represent an effort to help restore more of the flexible, general purpose nature of Refined Warfare that's long made it a favorite doctrine for many players, as a safe option for many different kinds of armies, while still keeping it at the power level where it won't just overshadow other more focused doctrines as a result. Keeping the buff to breakthrough in Concentration of Force still exclusive to Infantry should make our goals in this regard clearer, as breakthrough is a stat many units in the infantry category would not normally have a high amount of or be built around utilizing in large values just given the nature of infantry as a holding unit. This means a breakthrough buff targeting Infantry and only Infantry can be larger on average.)
  192.  
  193. # Conventional Warfare
  194. Field Fortifications Walking Infantry Entrenchment +0.2 and Organisation +3 changed to all Infantry
  195. Coordinated Assault Army Breakthrough +10% changed to only Frontline Platoons

  210. Rapid Redeployment Firebase Speed +25% -> +35%, Army Speed +10% replaced with Maximum Command Power +20
  211. (Dev Note: Patch 4.1.13's nerf to the bonus per level of Entrenchment makes these previously lowered Entrenchment Speed bonuses something we're now more comfortable with including in Trooper Warfare. Furthermore, the hope is that preemptive nerfs to infantry spam and static defense will prevent said playstyle from continuing to reign at the top of the meta in the wake of some long needed nerfs to Automated Warfare. Both styles have had their time in the sun, and especially in the case of Trooper Warfare it's high time for the unbreakable static defense doctrine to take more of a backseat.)
