Can these ratings be changed, and if so where is it done ?
You know, but anyway: In SH3 there is no easy way on driving one screw and get the desired result. If you change one thing, that can change also things on completely different and unexpected area.

What you are trying to do may be some sort of balancing. Evan the professional experts or Game-developers (not only SH3) can fail and are failed on this.

There are alot of discussions on this topic, which i cant remember all. A short search on Subsim brings some results:

for SH4 but also relevant for SH3 (without thermal layer)

in GWX are(!) hardcore-Destroyers

Keep in mind, that changing the Environment can also have unwanted results to Sensors. For example visual sensor are relying on light and ambient-light.

This Game-balancing, once started, is an ongoing never ending process.
