Q: Improved Conventional Weapons WOTC
Do I need to do something additional after completing the Improved Conventional Weapons breakthrough for the +1 damage bonus to show on tier1 weapons?

Checking in the armory all weapons still have just their base damage, 3-5 AR, etc.
I swapped weapons around, started the next mission, but it is still base only.
I wonder if a mod is messing with this (It's MrOdd's list), but perhaps I miss something.

If it's not applying then one of your mods is messing it up. All you need to do is complete the breakthrough.

I had save from just before completing the research, but even disabling all mods didn't help.

I sidled in the bonus incrasing basedamge in DefaultGameData_WeaponData.ini for the conventional weapons. Should remember reverting to orignial ini file after this run.

Erm, so 3-4 missions later I actually looked at the screen...and there is the answer.

Targetting damage info, left tab of HUD shows "breakthrough +1", meaning Improved Weapon damage (and similar breakthough daamge) does not increase the weapon base damage, it will not show in the weapon info like in the armory, only visible in mission.
