Correction of torpedo damage power in SH4

[Gorshkov]

I finally run S3D editor and I have discovered torpedo damage settings in stock game. Here you are:

1. US torpedoes: all have the same AP=100 value and listed below hit points (HP) ranges and damage radii:

- Mk-27: 50-100 HP, 1.5-5 m
- Mk-10 : 80-160HP, 3-6 m
- Mk-14: 100-170 HP, 3-7 m
- Mk-16: 180 - 350 HP, 3.5-8 m
- Mk-18: 120-180 HP, 3-7 m
- Mk-23: 120-180 HP, 3-7 m

For comparison their real warhead's weight are as follows:

- Mk-27: 47 kg torpex
- Mk-10: 225 kg TNT = 150 kg torpex
- Mk-14: 292 kg torpex
- Mk-16: 428 kg torpex
- Mk-18: 261 kg torpex
- Mk-23: 292 kg torpex

As we can see there are several bugs here:

- Mk-18 should have Mk-14's HP value and vice-versa
- Mk-10 is too powerful
- Mk-27 also seems to be overpowered

2. German torpedoes - all have identical AP=100 value and damage radii set at 3-7 m. Their HP values are as follows:

- T-I: 120-180 HP
- T-II: 120-180 HP
- T-III: 120-180 HP
- T-IV: 120-180 HP
- T-V: 120-180 HP
- T-VII LUT: 120-180 HP
- T-XI: 120-180 HP
- T-I FAT I: 80-160 HP
- T-III FAT II: 80-160 HP
- T-I LUT I: 80-160 HP
- T-III LUT II: 120-180 HP

As we can see all German torps are scaled as US stock Mk-18 and Mk-23 equivalents but majority of FAT/LUT torps are Mk-10 equivalents. Of course this is not true. In reality late-war German torps had warheads with weight close to Mk-16 and German acoustic torps had warhead's weight close to stock Mk-18.

Now I'll try to correct all this bugs in my mod similar to Webster's one but being much more detailed. So I am waiting for your suggestions.

PS. Beware my mod will apply only to STOCK sinking model!!!
