Practical effects:

Rifle Troopers' MX-90 Grenades are now easier to use (this also applies to Powered Armor Trooper grenades). Boom Bundle has been made slightly easier to use and made more powerful to offset it's short range.

Combat Engineers' flamethrowers now deal full damage to Warriors and below, and deal more damage to Tiger Bugs. Disabled friendly fire blocking so they can be used more aggressively and give their flamethrowers a chance to do some work.

Snipers now deal more damage against light and medium armored targets. Notably, Snipers now kill Drones in 1 shot, Warriors in 2 shots, Grenadier Bugs in 4 shots, and Tiger Bugs in 7 shots (previously Snipers dealt minimum damage to Tiger Bugs). Cooldowns have been improved. Crippling Shot damage improved, and range boosted to match vet 3 range.

Radio Operators' Dropship Fire Support has longer deploy range and larger area of effect for ease of use.

Rocket Trooper's vet 3 abilities' range boosted to match vet 3 range.

Mk II Troopers now gain better accuracy as they rank up, similar to Rifle Troopers, to offset their fairly poor vet 3 abilities.

Fleet Liaison's range increased slightly and shoot-through enabled to discourage suicidal thoughts when mass-ordering troops. TAC Strikes now damage high-armor enemies, and Orbital Strikes now deal more damage to medium-armor enemies.

Marines supply cost reduced, speed increased, and disabled shoot-through, but also disabled friendly fire blocking - done to promote aggressive use of the unit due to their ease of replacement in the field. Note that the original description is incorrect - it states that they didn't block friendly fire and can shoot through friendly units; in reality they only had shoot-through enabled and still blocked friendly fire (this mod flips that). Also note that the low suppression value indicated in the unit card was incorrect and was actually about 10x higher than it should have been, this has been corrected down to a more reasonable level. For reference, their suppression value is now slightly worse than Rifle Troopers.

HMG Turret has improved effectiveness vs Hoppers. Just made Grenade & Rocket Launcher Turrets better.

Wavebreaker Turret made tougher to stand up better to massed Scorpion plasma.

Tankers' toughness and spit range increased so they present more of a challenge due to their rarity.

Scorpions have had a calculated reduction to their armor so they are more vulnerable to mid-tier armor piercing weapons. Of note, Mk II Troopers, E-Pulse Troopers, Fleet Liaison TAC Strikes & Orbital Strikes, and Powered Armor Troopers with Morita Mk III "SAW"s are much more effective against Scorpions. Their damage against high armor player units has been reduced - bursts to kill Wavebreaker Turrets has been increased from 4 to 8 and bursts to kill Marauders increased from 4 to 6. They remain high-priority targets, but are less difficult to dispatch now.
