Which one did you mean, and did you mean it as a buff or nerf against small/fast targets?
He refers to it being a balance against improvements so it is likely to be an increase to explosion radius.

The damage boost does indeed more than offset it but is the final balance relative to much shorter ranged Torps where it needs to be?
Sorry to quote myself but it seems that T2 high damage Cruise could work better against battleships-sized targets and below than T2 high damage Torps (not check other missile types though). Sorry again if my maths is off.

Edit: If it is ER and I have used the missile damage forum correctly (?), it looks like Fury Cruise will out-damage Rage Torps against signatures of 384m or smaller when 2 TPs are used (the cut-off seems to be 528m without TPs). Coupled with much greater range, those cut-offs seem too high and perhaps a smaller damage bonus is in order?

4700m/sec base missile velocity for all Cruise Missiles (up from 3750m/sec)
14 second base flight time for all Cruise Missiles (down from 20 seconds)
As I understand it, current cruise missiles have the same velocity but different flight times depending on their type.
Cruise missile flight times:
Standard/Faction >> Fury >> Precision
As all cruise missiles currently have the same base speed, they then mirror the range progression for missiles within the Light and Heavy missile categories (Standard/Faction >> Fury >> Precision).
Why do the proposed changes quoted above indicate that all cruise missiles will have identical ranges after the patch? Any chance the flight time aspect is an error?
The removal of the normal range penalty from Fury and Precision missiles seems odd and overpowered relative to other missile systems. If 30% flight time was shaved off Fury and Precision missiles (as is done by going from 20s to 14s), Precision would still reach over 100 km when launched by a Raven.
