This is probably a super easy question.

For some reason, when I change damage on sieged Siege tanks, only the old damage (35 dmg + 15 vs armored) appears in game, despite my changes. The damage shows up on all other units I change.

What can be the issue?

The siege tank is doing the correct damage, you just forgot to change the damage fields for the display dummy which is shown for the weapon.

The effect which controls the damage displayed by the weapon:
NAME:
Crucio Shock Cannon Dummy
ID:
CrucioShockCannonDummy

Not all weapons use the same effect for UI display as they use to actually deal damage. Infact it is thereticly possible for a weapon to never deal any damage (which is why this is the case).

To put what ^ said simply (at least I think lol):

Siege tanks and regular tanks have two separate weapons.
Make sure you're also correctly modifying the variable so that the (+damage) towards armored is set to 15, (15 + 35 = 50) and not just 50 (50 + 35 = 85).
This is not at all what I said...

The siege tank in siege mode (The long range stationary mode) has a complex damage effect chain inorder to correctly deal spash damage. As such the displayed damage orignates from a dummy damage effect. This effect never actually deals damage and is only there for the UI. The problem the Topic Creator has is he forgot to change this dummy damage effect so it displayed the siege tank as dealing its orignal damage when the siege tank was actually dealing the damage the TC specified.
