The problem is NOT the 1% – that was intended:

While this is what's intended, one element simply doesn't work, which screws up the effectiveness of any unit using a Hollowpoint-type warhead. "1% means no retaliate, no passive aquire" is not what the game does, because either 1% allows retaliation, or 1% now becomes 2% once things in the game get rolling.... either way, a unit with 1% on the warhead will ALWAYS retaliate. A sniper being shot at by a tank will fire back at the tank, and ignore 500 juicy infantry who might be standing around that tank. Changing the warhead to 0% versus vehicle armor is the only practical solution.
