When merged this pull request will:

Changes _addedDamage modification to work as a function of a very rough estimation of time of flight.
- Current implementation relies on _airFriction * _distance resulting in large reductions in damage for projectiles with non-infinitesimal "airFriction" values. i.e., RHS uses penetrators for their AP ammo with airFriction of -0.08 resulting in shots at 200m applying ~1e-7 damage
- This doesn't account for projectile bounces or deflections, but neither did the old method.
Most rounds within 2km only see a 1% reduction in damage, so another approach may be required, but distance isn't one of them.

Pulling this to a draft until I experiment with a few things to better estimate speed & time of flight.

changed ap damage reduction to tof instead of distance
