Feature/Improvement Request: Combat Support Compatibility For SOG PF Artillery/CAS Munitions #826

@LuizBarros99

Description

@LuizBarros99

Basically I noticed that several munition types from the SOG Prarie Fire CDLC were absent in the Player Combat Support Module, these were mainly the 105mm Airburst, illumination, and Fragmentation rounds, and Rockeye cluster bomb. I would imagine that Napalm and Willy Pete bombs and that flechette and Willy Pete rockets could also be potentially missing too, but I haven't checked.

What I would suggest would be to treat each as the closest counterpart available:

  • Airburst 105mm artillery shells should be classified/treated as cluster shells
    (Basically seems to use a variation of the Vanilla Cluster munition framework)

  • Fragmentation artillery shells currently should be treated as HE shells
    (currently are a copy and paste of the HE shell. But looking up their designation shows that they should be Flechette shells, which should act similar to cluster/airburst shells when fired out of artillery pieces)

  • Flechette and Willy Pete rochets should be treated as regular unguided rockets
    (although they have slightly different properties, their employment should be close enough to that of regular unguided rockets)

  • Willy Pete and Napalm bombs should be treated as like regular unguided bombs
    (While they do have different properties compared to regular unguided bombs, they behave close enough. Worth mentioning that Napalm is less accurate, as SOG PF simulates their tumbling)
