[@LeeRoy][@MelonHead]3 tons or 1 ton...what's the big deal?
Such differences have no impact on the battle unless the writer edges on it (ie: fighting somebody who was described to be 3 times stronger)
This would matter if, say, your blasts unsuppressed could destroy entire city sections or city blocks (or even more).
But basically your attack power went from street to small buildingish level to ... slightly lower.
It won't change much because the point of these fights is that we should be balanced.
