Quick XML Question - Assinging a stength penalty for a unit

[Crighton]

Hi all,

Quick question:

I've successfully added a helicopter unit and I think I need to balance it by adding a penalty to it. Specifically I want to give it a -25% penalty vs. Sam Infantry and a -50% penalty vs. Mobil Sams.

Is it possible to do this in XML by editing the helicopter unit or am I going to be forced to do this by simply boosting the bonus' for the Sams? Which I would prefer not to do (the mod I'm working on is a simple mod for adding Gunships and I'd like to keep any modifications I make limited to the additional units since each part of the Gunship Mod will be modular and I don't want the module to potentially alter the acepted value of the Sams should anyone use my modules).

Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Yes, you should be able to do this by simply adding the appropriate UnitClassAttackMods to your helo (negative values are allowed).

<UnitClassAttackMods>
    <UnitClassAttackMod>
        <UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_SAM_INFANTRY</UnitClassType>
	<iUnitClassMod>-25</iUnitClassMod>
    </UnitClassAttackMod>
    <UnitClassAttackMod>
        <UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_MOBILE_SAM</UnitClassType>
	<iUnitClassMod>-50</iUnitClassMod>
    </UnitClassAttackMod>				
</UnitClassAttackMods>

edit: Since the above only modifies attack and there doesn't seem to be a general modifier, you would also need to add UnitClassDefenseMods in similar fashion.
