Make a treb that is treated 'normally', say, treb#retail and set that as the default loadout, then fix the regular treb handling.

Or make, say, a "treb#corrected" which behaves the expected way and then tell modders to use that instead.

Which is basically what the AI profile flag that changes how the AI uses Trebuchets is doing.

(The other problem with your suggestion is that we can't can't modify retail data.)

Retail engine will behave using original behavior + use a MediaVPs ships.tbl //if FSO > 3.7.2 then use x entry instead.

Yeah, the other (treb#corrected AI tag) way is better.

And it would still be something that we would not do in the MediaVPs.

I've finally gotten around to this and made a pull request.

My life's work has been achieved. Billions of hours spent playing this game--hours in which every frame of gameplay subtlety was committed to gut memory-- have culminated in the discovery of crappy bombs.

For the first time in my life, I am filled...with joy.
