RA2: Backlash

RA2: Backlash is a all new conversion mod currently being constructed by JoeBlo. RA2: Backlash (more more commonly referred to as simply Backlash) is a standalone RA2 version that amps up the damage, speed and power of motors, drive, weapons, etc and reduces the HP and fracture of everything, thus making it really destructive.
