Fallout Tactics mod Equilibrium (2.2)

[Mr.Moe]

• Install Fallout Tactics 1.27.
• Install Unofficial Patch Plus (optional).
• Install this mod.
  - Launch game from the mod shortcut.

I want to give this mod a try but haven't found the Unofficial Patch Plus and installed over my fresh 1.27 steam game.
Am I missing out on some bugfixes or what makes this optional?

And is this mod more balanced towards CTB, individual/squad TB?

I don't think I ever heard about the Patch plus elsewhere. The way I see it, you should be able to install the mod from 1.27 easily. All mods I know use this, and sometimes above it FT Improver, which doesn't appear to be needed here.

I wonder if you've heard of the Left Leg Crit bug, raics, and whether it is possible to fix it with modding? There's a sort of Achilles' heel in the game code that allows the highest crit table roll to occur frequently with left leg hits, causing hundreds or thousand(s) of damage to occur reliably with aimed strikes, even with starter gear. https://github.com/melindil/FTSE/wiki/Critical-hit-chance-and-effects

Scored that crit with Equilibrium in Brahmin wood with an unarmed attack aimed at the left leg with Gifted / Jinxed (Jinxed adds +20 crit chance), Str 8, Lk 8

It'll prolly be even more effective to Mutate out of Jinxed and take Kamikaze instead just before or after getting Slayer, as the Jinxed perk also gives enemies a +20 crit chance against you!
