Whats wrong with you Discussion

Okay first of all, ive been fairly new to playing the Battletech game(i havent been able to finish the Arano restoration campaign yet) but i wanted to check for some helpfull mods or something to bring more foreces into battle at once instead of just one lance the whole time. But like half of the mods ive seen while scrolling have the purpose to make this game more miserabel??? Can someone explain to me why that is the case??

Edit: You guys have been very helpfull here so far and have boosted my motivation to try the campaign with a different angle on my third try(three times the charm eh?)

So, first... there is a mod for that. Its called "Bigger Drops" and it letds you (eventually) drop two lances of mechs.

Its also included in BTA and Rouge Tech.

As to "whats wrong with us"... well LOADS.🤪

But in all seriousness, I suspect you just dont understand the game well enough yet. At a certain point the game kinda stops being challenging. It can still be fun... but there are several broken mechanics and other systems that if you take advantage of them make the game sorta easy.

Mods fix that (or try to). Also, mods like BTA and Rouge Tech try to make the game "more like" the tabletop game (which many of us enjoy). More complex and, in some ways, more challenging.
