This change halves the health bonus afforded to all USA Battle Drone variants via the Drone Armor upgrade from +50 to +25.

In 1.04, the Battle Drone receives a +50 health bonus on top of its 100 health, which is a +50% increase, while the other drone health bonuses are a +25% increase. Values are now consistent across all drones and match the upgrade's description of +25% and player expectations. This issue is likely a leftover from Generals where the upgrade's intended bonus was +50%.

Note

Only the vanilla and Laser variants are used in-game.

Note

The standard Super Weapon variant (SupW_AmericaVehicleBattleDrone) already uses the correct value of +25.

Before

Drone Health Bonus
Battle Drone 100 +50
Hellfire Drone 100 +25
Scout Drone 100 +25
Sentry Drone 300 +75
Spy Drone 200 +50

After

Drone Health Bonus
Battle Drone 100 +25
Hellfire Drone 100 +25
Scout Drone 100 +25
Sentry Drone 300 +75
Spy Drone 200 +50

Reduce the Drone Armor health bonus for USA Battle Drone variants from +50 to +25.

Match the upgrade's intended 25% health increase and description.

Bring Battle Drone upgrade scaling in line with the other USA drone variants.
