TIS questions, is the modification fair?

Another point worth bearing in mind, is that not all NATO units have TIS. In the stock FG/NGP/DF 85 timeline, only the US really have uniform TIS equipment on a majority of units (M1, M60A3, M2/M3 and M901 equipped units, with M113 equipped infantry units lacking).

The W. Germans have TIS on their Leopard 2s (about 50% of their tank fleet in the game) plus their Raketenjagdpanzer Jaguar (one company per brigade, although only the TOW equipped Jaguar 2s had TIS before the 1990s IRL, with the HOT equipped Jaguar 1 lacking, but the stock game doesn´t discern between the two).

The Netherlands have their Leo2s (about 33% of their total tank fleet)

The British have all of their tank fleet (Chieftain/Challengers) w. TIS.

The French army only have their HOT equipped ATGM units w. TIS.

The Austrian, Danish, and Belgian armies have no TIS equipped units in the game. Afaik the belgian and austrians didn´t get these systems into service before the early 90´s, and the danish units that would have had TIS in a 1985 setting, were a part of LANDZEALAND, not LANDJUT.

So in conclusion:
The only country with a marked TIS advantage is the US, especially if playing NGP or FG 85, where the US units are uniform B and A morale (but are lacking M2 IFVs, which they have in DF85, at the cost of lower morale). The British come in at a close second, with the germans and dutch trailing somewhat behind. The rest of NATO has no marked advantage here.
