 ## Balance
 
-- (#5815) Change to the target priorities of the Percival
+- (#5815) Adjust the target priorities of the Percival
 
-The Percival will now prefer to fire at structures over firing at tech 1 units. The Percival now has similar targeting priorities as Snipers.
+The Percival now prioritizes firing at structures over tech 1 units. Its targeting priorities are now similar to Snipers.
 
-- (#5812, #5823) Improve the behavior of tactical missiles
+- (#5812, #5823) Enhance tactical missile behavior
 
-The behavior of tactical missiles is improved across the board.
+Improved the behavior of tactical missiles across the board.
 
-The targeting behavior now takes into account the full orientation of the unit. Previously it would only take into account the orientation across the XZ-plane. Tactical missiles are now noticeable more accurate against units that are on a slope.
+Targeting behavior now considers the full orientation of the unit, enhancing accuracy against units on slopes.
 
-The zig zag behavior is adjusted to reduce the amount of zig zagging right before impact. Tactical missiles that use zig zagging are now noticeable more accurate. Primarily applies to Aeon tactical missiles.
+Adjusted zig-zag behavior to reduce last-minute zig-zagging before impact, making Aeon tactical missiles more accurate.
 
-- (#5806) Adjust the economy behavior of the Scry ability of the Eye of Rhianne.
+- (#5806) Modify the economy behavior of the Scry ability of the Eye of Rhianne.
 
-It now behaves similar to other economy-consuming abilities.
+Now behaves similarly to other economy-consuming abilities.
 
 - (#5667) Adjust the movement behavior of the Seraphim sniper
 
 The movement reduction of the sniper mode is now only applied when the main weapon is on cooldown. This reduces the amount of micro that is required to use the sniper.
 
-- (#5805) Buff to the standard resource allocation of the Seraphim SACUs
+- (#5805) Buff standard resource allocation of Seraphim SACUs
 
-The Seraphim faction does not have a Resource Allocation System (RAS) on their SACUs. Instead, the standard resource production of the Seraphim SACUs is higher than the SACUs of other factions. With these changes we buff the standard resource production to 3 mass/second and 200 energy/second.
+Increased standard resource production to 3 mass/second and 200 energy/second for Seraphim SACUs.
 
-This is an experimental change, we may tweak it in the near future.
+The Seraphim faction lacks a Resource Allocation Subsystem (RAS) for the SACU. We understand that players may feel disadvantaged when playing Seraphim in the very-late game phase where RAS SACUs can play an important role. With these changes, we preserve the faction diversity while providing the Seraphim faction with an alternative approach to generate mobile resources.
 
-- (#5795) Shrink the collision shape of air units when they are landed.
+This is an experimental change that is subject to future tweaks.
 
-The collision shape of air units is relatively large in comparison to the size of the unit. As a result they act as a giant bullet sponge the moment they are on the ground. The collision shape is now shrinked while landed to match the size of the mesh of the unit.
+- (#5795) Reduce the collision shape of landed air units.
 
-- (#5785) Fix various projectiles being unable to impact the water surface.
+Landed air units now have a smaller collision shape, matching the size of the mesh.
 
-Most notable projectiles of the UEF tech 2 Destroyer and various tactical missiles would not impact with the water surface.
+- (#5785) Fix projectiles being unable to impact the water surface.
 
-- (#5827) Allow SACUs to have the COMMAND target priority
+Notable for UEF tech 2 Destroyer projectiles and various tactical missiles.
 
-This change allows SACUs to enable snipe mode to target an ACU while moving.
+- (#5827) Allow SACUs to have COMMAND target priority.
 
-- (#5834) Fix a bug with the salvo of the tech 3 submarine
+Allows SACUs to target an ACU while moving in snipe mode.
 
-Due to this bug the damage per second was reduced to 327 while it should be 363. This bug was introduced when the torpedo interactions were refactored in 2023.
+- (#5834) Fix a bug with the salvo of the tech 3 submarine.
 
-- (#5834) Fix Aeon anti torpedo defenses firing two anti torpedo's at a single torpedo
+Corrected a bug reducing damage per second to 327 instead of 363.
+
+- (#5834) Fix Aeon anti-torpedo defenses firing two anti-torpedoes at a single torpedo.
 
 - (#5836) Fix intel ranges being inaccurate
 
-This is a complicated but interesting change. For the player intel is visualised as a perfect circle. For the engine however intel is processed in a grid. The grid is rather coarse - the size of a cell for vision is 2 walls and for all other types of (counter) intel it is 4 walls.

-This has consequences. Imagine four units with a radar radius of 28, 29, 30 and 31. Visually it appears that the last unit with a radar radius of 31 provides more intel then the unit with a radar radius of 28. For the engine however, because the size of a cell in the intel grid is 4 walls large it doesn't matter - the units with 29, 30 and 31 radar range provide as much intel as the unit with 28 radar range.

-With these changes we reviewed all intel radia and to make sure the value aligns with the value that the intel grid actually applies. As a result the intel radius of units may appear smaller, but for the engine they are the same. Therefore the intel radia that you see now are more accurate.

 - (#61) Increase the intel update frequency from 3 seconds to 0.5 seconds
 
-In the average case intel would only update every 3 seconds (or 30 ticks). With thanks to an assembly patch intel now updates every 0.5 seconds (or 5 ticks). This impacts not just what you see as a player but also how quickly the weapons of your units may react to blips that suddenly pop up in their range.

 - (#5836) Revert of the 15% global vision range increase as introduced by game version 3761
 
-The vision range of various units were increased because of the slow update frequency of intel. With thanks to the assembly patch the update frequency of intel is increased with 600% and therefore we're reverting the global vision range increase.
