Balancing:
Note:
All balancing changes only apply to new game rounds, running game rounds are not affected by these changes.
“Costs” = Research costs, production costs, and upkeep costs.
“Slightly” = less than 5%.

When the enemy units become invisible to the player again (Scout unit moves out of view range) then the patrolling planes do not deal any more patrol damage to the unit.
