<h1>Patch 3660 beta</h1>
<p>Welcome to the patchnotes for the 3660 beta.</p>
<p>This is the second part of the patch that has been tested since May, first by the tester team and later in the public beta by everyone.

It contains a few things that couldn't make it into the first patch, and the HP changes to structures that were cut from the first patch as they were quite controversial and required more testing. </p>
<p>The changes are now accessible through the FAF Beta featured mod. To help testing, please host and play games with the FAF Beta mod and post feedback on the balance forum!
<h1>Patch 3664 beta</h1>
<p>Welcome to the patchnotes for the 3664 beta.</p>
<p>This are the parts of the last patch that have been left out until the vote about the balance team has finished to potentially let a different team decide over them. <p>
<p>The changes are now accessible through the FAF Beta featured mod. To help testing, host and play games with the FAF Beta mod and post any feedback on the balance forum!

While the bomber changes of the first part can either be beneficial for aeon players and their auroras or not, the t2 nerfs were definitely welcome for them. To even this out a little bit, aeon t1 mma will now not survive a single bomb like the others (and can tank less damage in ground battles), but gets a small compensation in range.

<h3><img src="images/janus.png"> Janus:</h3>
The janus bomber already saw significant improvements to its accuracy in the first part of the patch, but undoubtly can see some more love. This might not be the final change, the goal is to make it a more versatile and useful (and being made fun of less) unit, while being different to the other t2 bombers. Where the other t2 bombers are most useful to take out single targets, the role of the janus will lie more in taking out large armies with its AOE.

<h3>HP Reductions (Part 1)</h3>
The goal with all the HP reductions in general is to allow more options for agressive play, especially in the lategame and to bring the game closer to how it is working with the current low t2 pg HP and its impact on the game.
<br><br>The goal with increasing the HP differences between the factions is to make them a relevant and interesting part of the game, rather than a visual difference without much impact. The changes are aimed to increase faction diversity and attempt to even out the current differences in power between the factions by giving them more unique strenghts and weaknesses, rather than making them more equal. This are rather big changes, and some finetuning will likely be required in the future, but we believe they will make the game more diverse and interesting.
<br><br>To compensate cybran a bit for the rather large nerfs, and to accompany their new weakness with a strenght that fits to them, all their nerfed buildings do (very slowly) regenerate health now in return. They are more vulnuable, but if you don't kill them they will be back at full HP after about 10 minutes for each building. If you want to give feedback on this particular change, you can find the discussion <a href="http://forums.faforever.com/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=12828">in the FAF Forum</a>

The last building that got its HP changes are Walls. They found increasing popularity in the past year, and with that also causing increasing annoyance and they proved that they are very powerfull. Walls take twice the time to build now (which is still very fast), and while UEF walls are almost as hard to destroy as before, Cybran walls are much less of a obstacle.

<div id="allacu" class="card">
<h3><img src="images/RAS.png">RAS & ARAS</h3>
Nerfs to RAS have been discussed for a long time, as the powerful RAS had a couple of negative effects like a much faster jump to t3 air, especially in teamgames. The exact numbers, and if the nerf is best done by reducing income, or increasing cost, might change, but everyone who wished for a RAS nerf since a long time will hopefully be happy with this patch. Along with this, RAS SCUs become more expensive in power to make it a bit less easy decision to choose between them or massfabs in the lategame. <br><br>

The t2 (and t3) upgrade gets some (but not all) of it's regen back to give ACUs an easy way to regenerate health again, but without making it able to compete with the Nano upgrades. (that get cheaper too, see below) The HP nerf for the t2 ACU get reduced slightly to reduce the negative effects of it, but is replaced with a small cost increase for the dominant upgrade. <br><br>

<h3><img src="images/uefcom.png"> UEF ACU </h3>
Several ACU upgrades got reduced cost to allow them to be built earlier and allow for more aggressive ACU action. Especially regarding the nerfs to the T2 upgrade last patch, which reduced the power of both, attacking and defending ACUs, this changes should give players who like to play more aggressive additional tools.

The changes to the billy might help with this too, but their reasoning is to change the incredible expensive and to large part useless upgrade into one that'll see more action without becoming too strong. For this, the role of the "real" nuke, that can be stopped by TMD gets changed to become a more tactical nuke, that can be also used against armies due to its lower cost. <br><br>
