Readme:

To install the mod, unzip into steamapps\common\EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6.
Modloader is included.

If the level 0 ranger weapon broken pa-11 has been renamed to MODDED pa-11 the mod is working.

This balance mod has 2 goals. Weapons that were nerfed going from edf 5 to 6 have been buffed up back to their EDF 5 levels (This helps me enjoy EDF 6 more as the definitive version rather than yearning for EDF5)
And to buff up weapons that are far weaker than they should be and are rarely picked because of it. Having them be actually usable should increase your loadout options a decent amount. The buffs should be well shy of making them overpowered, but they are hopefully competitive now.

Changelog for balance mod

All air raider weapons and calldowns that had their reload points, cooldown, and reload time doubled from edf 5 are restored to their edf 5 values.
T2HS Rocket Launcher has had its capacity increased by 2.
Titan tanks have 33% reduced point cost
Requiem cannon has 20 ammo. Powered titan has 25 ammo for requiem cannon.
Barga and proteus have point cost reduced to more closely match edf 5

Damage of ranger Fork missile launchers increased by 50%

All fencer missile launchers can be used without air raider guidance.
Large buff to fencer light mortar damage to be closer to ranger rocket launchers.
Doubled damage for bloodstorm launchers

All wing diver Plasma cannons have had their damage doubled to be closer in line to ranger rocket launcher.
Geist 3, Geist D, and Geist G have had their energy cost reduced to what they were in EDF 5.
All wing diver Super weapons have had their reload time reduced by their duration to match EDF 5 behavior where they recharged during use.

Additional mod by cuteLittlegirl: "Unlock Air Raider"
This mod allows you to pick Support Equipment on every Slot for Air Raider again (just like in EDF 5).
This only includes buffs/healing like the guard post and the power post as well as Roombas, Robot Bombs, Insect Bombs.
This mod also enables you to pick RANGER vehicles in your vehicle tab.

TODO:
Play the game more and try to find weapons that are far weaker than they should be to buff them up in this mod.
Learn more about modding vehicles to give the vehicles a more comprehensive balance pass.
