I was comparing before and after the upgrade, and I see that the DPS is twice as bad. Am I looking in the wrong place?

It looks damage is really halved, not only for pre-engineered AX missile racks but also for regular AXMR. I took a look in issue tracker, but there's nothing about it.

The game used to show their entire damage which was confusing because it showed guardian weapons doing double damage and AX weapons being quite OP too. So they changed it to show just the HUMAN component, which on AX weapons is approximately 40%.

The buff increased their displayed damage by about 0.8. AX damage type does 10% to human targets, so that means the buff was a bonus 8 damage, or a little over a 20% buff.
