HEAT Curve Rework #386

Closed LengthenedGradient closed 7 months ago

LengthenedGradient commented 7 months ago

Reworked how HEAT curves are calculated.

ACF Shaped Charges have had peak standoffs considerably further than what is realistic (up to 16x in some cases).
- For Missile APS systems, triggering an ATGM's warhead would be useless since the ATGM would retain penetration to vary far distances.
- The primary cause was that the breakup time was also excessively long.
- Curve parameters have been adjusted so as to mostly match pre change passive and peak standoffs.

List of important changes:

Gamma set to 1 in HEAT calculations so that curves are now continuous
Breakup time scaled to more realistic values, resulting in peak standoff being more realistic. Penmul and passive standoff adjusted to account for this.
