I have not checked if this so called stacking bug/feature is only in v1.35. I did not notice it in earlier Versions since i had not bothered to test tactical combat until now (AI_Strategies.txt file wasnt working correctly until v1.35, 20. Fixed - AI was not reading the AI_Strategies.txt file if it was in that race's directory.)
So i started tweaking this file and watching the AI battle against each other when i noticed that smaller fighter Groups had serious problems to hit larger fighter Groups.. so i naturally started investigate this and one thing led to another. And yes i have nothing else productive to do than mod and play Space Empires IV
.
On ECM, stealth armor and scattering armor.. yes they do stack now with each other. When you design new ships just click the To Hit Modifier on the right side of the screen (new in v1.35) and you see the current defense and offense modifiers.
