OWB 4.2.3 Tech, Equipment and Unit Balance Changes

# 4.2.3 Tech and Units Balance Changelog

Design Company Changes:

	Pre-War Power Armor manufacturer Armor +5% -> +10%
	BoS unique Power Armor manufacturer Speed +10% -> +5%, granted 5% Soft and Hard Attack
	Light Ship manufacturer Production Cost -25% -> -10%, Max Range -50% -> -20%
	Heavy Ship manufacturer Max Range +5% -> +10%



Unit Leader Trait Changes:

	# SPECIAL
	Charismatic Supply Consumption -5% replaced with Recovery Rate +5%
		(Dev Note: As ironic as it is for Old World Blues, a mod that started with adapting New Vegas, to have its weakest SPECIAL stat also be Charisma, it
		is good for the traits to all be subtle but consistently slightly beneficial to the unit leader. Given the mod's leniency with Supply as a roadblock,
		Supply Consumption is the odd one out with that criteria . It also arguably did not fit the flavor of Charisma as well as Recovery Rate would anyway.)
	Agile Modifiers condensed to Movement Bonus on Land +5%
		(Dev Note: This is not a functional change, only a visual one.)

	# Unit Leader
	Sniper Reconnaissance +25% removed, Spec Ops Defense +5% -> +10%

	Ninja Org Loss When Moving -20% replaced with Reinforce Rate +2%

	# Field Marshal

	Tough Leader Division Defense +10% -> +7.5%


Infantry and Support Changes:

	Militia Breakthrough -30% -> -20%, Defense -15% -> -10%
		(Dev Note: Contrary to what may seem like large number shifts here, it's not expected that this change will have any major impact on the viability
		of Militia as a unit, but considering how prior changes have accumulated over time to allow them to at least situationally prove useful, that isn't
		the goal anyway. This change will likely be the final difference to leave them in a satisfactory position long term.)

	Spec Ops equipment Piercing 4/6/8/10/13 -> 5/7/9/11/13

	Military Heritage The Long March tech Recovery Rate +2% -> +3%, Historical Firearms tech Army Soft/Hard Attack and Piercing +2% -> +3%

	Support and Security Robot Amphibious Attack -30% -> -20%. Combat Robot Amphibious Movement -40% -> -30%, Attack -30% -> -20%



Doctrine Changes:

	# Perks and Doctrine School
	All Perk Unit Experience Gain bonuses +2% -> +3%
	New Crossroads Army Training Time -5% changed to Special Forces Training Time -5%
		(Dev Note: Training time is already a minor stat to modify as is, so while it's still good to keep the first Doctrine School tech somewhat beneficial
		this change should help increase its specificity slightly and lower the ease with which Training Time reductions can be acquired through tech or other
		universal modifiers everyone can access.)

	# Automated Warfare
	Dynamic Tactics Integration Robots Speed +10% -> +15%
	Automated Distribution Frontline Units Recovery Rate +0.05 -> +0.1
	Rushed Production Reinforce Rate +2% -> +4%
	Information Relays Initiative Factor +10% -> +15%
		(Dev Note: We don't necessarily consider Robots or the Robot Doctrine to be weak currently. These changes are instead mostly informed by the right path
		generally outclassing the left path in the doctrine's first split, so we don't anticipate these changes to raise the peak strength of the doctrine much
		if at all. Rather, it seeks to undo some of the more aggressive nerfs made in the later 4.1.x patches now that Robots are more in control and allow for
		the choice between the two paths to be closer.)

	# Conventional Warfare
	Rapid Motorised Deployment Army Recovery Rate +0.12 -> +0.15
	Suppressive Firepower granted Fireteam Platoon and Demolitions Platoon Organisation +5

	Land unit Air Attack to plane damage reduced by 20%
		(Dev Note: This means that upon landing hits on enemy aircraft, divisional AA will shoot down 20% less planes)
	Ace Wing Bonus Size reduced from 100 to 50
		(Dev Note: What this value governs is not the max bonus, but what the bonuses for have an Ace consider the average wing size to be when scaling their
		modifiers. In other words, the effectively doubles the bonus from Aces, but occasionally the bonus may hit its cap on occasion and negate some or all
		of the impact of this.)
	Ace Earn Chance Multiplier from killing enemy planes increased by 100%
	Detect Chance from Radar scaling reduced from up to 60% to up to 50%
	Max Aircraft to reach detection bonus raised from 50 to 500
	Detect Chance Max from Aircraft reduced from 2.0 to 0.8
