In just a few updates they managed to COMPLETELY swing the pendulum the other way and reverse the massive pop imbalance XD
Anyways my heart goes out to the collies who will get hit with every nerf under the sun when the pendulum swings the other way.
Another banger update from the devs with what they could do with their limited time, promises to work on the cheating problem and get more mods, new logi QOL, new colonial plane for balance, and other QOL changes for the health of the game and y’all STILL find things to complain about. devs never get the thank you they deserve for their hard work like damn.
Cursed Technique: Maintenance
To use this technique, the user must have made physical contact with the target within the last hour. Maintenance allows the user to “maintain” a target. Each use either succeeds or fails, and the user commits an amount of effort beforehand, measured as a percentage of their current cursed energy reserves. Higher effort strengthens the result and improves the odds, but it also worsens the penalty if the attempt fails. Success rates range from an even split at low effort up to eighty percent at maximum effort, and maximum effort consumes the user’s entire remaining reserve. A failed maintenance puts the technique on a five minute cooldown, while a success puts it on a one minute cooldown.
The technique can be used on unwilling targets, but resistance makes it less successful. The base success rate drops by ten percent, and that penalty scales higher the stronger the target is relative to the user (up to a max of -30%)
On a success, the target’s cursed energy output and reinforcement are boosted and some damage is healed. This healing is weaker than reverse cursed technique, but it can close wounds RCT cannot; Inumaki’s arm, for instance, could be restored with enough effort or across several successful uses. The effects last ten minutes and scale with effort, ranging from a modest ten to twenty percent increase at the low end up to sixty-five percent at maximum.
On a failure, the target takes internal damage. Every organ is affected to some degree. The severity scales with effort as well. A low effort failure causes a drop in cursed energy output and reinforcement, while a high effort failure prevents the target from manifesting their innate domain in any form, blocking Simple Domain, Domain Amplification, and Domain Expansion, and locks them out of reverse cursed technique entirely. These effects last five minutes.
Successful applications can stack.
Not only do they need a range improvement, they also need probably a HV modifier, for the time and resources required for a BT or SHT. Now, this might be overtuning them, but for the resources required for each one, I think this should be the balance we aim for.
The only thing that should be able to even remotely match an SHT should be an opposing SHT.
BTs should be able to replace 3-5 tanks in a tank line.
Both BTSs should get 45M range (including BTD).
SHT’S should be 47.5M range
OR
Just have a REASONABLE FUCKING PRINT TIME, like 2 hours for a BT, 3 for a BTD, and maybe at most 5 for an SHT and we won’t require any changes.
Unlike the scout plane, which is shooting cheap and easy-to-transport 20mm, the new AA tanks shoot what is the literal equivalent of Logiman tears and suffering. If you suffer for 10 minutes as an infantryman, I DON’T give a FUCK after I had to produce what is the equivalent of cock and ball torture.
Also fuck planes

New changes:
Aircraft Parts
• All aircraft parts are now easier to wreck
• All aircraft parts now take longer to become fully destroyed
• Increased the effect wrecked parts have on all aircraft
• Dev Note: Aircraft will be able to take less damage before needing to repair wrecked parts, reducing how often they can return to the frontline after being engaged by ground AA or other aircraft
• Dev Note: Now that aircraft parts are more vulnerable due to hit-registration improvements, the impact of wrecked parts has been adjusted across the board, since some wrecked parts had little impact on aircraft handling and others already had a large impact
Armour Uniforms
• Damage mitigation no longer reduces at closer range when shot by Light Kinetic automatic small arms weapons and shotguns
85V-G “Talos”
• Range increased from 35m to 40m

• Steel Construction Materials cost decreased from 40 to 15
• Static rotation rate increased by about 33%
