ACE3 Advanced Vehicle Damage

[JamesTheClarke]

ACE3 v3.14.0 has introduced a new vehicle damage model as well as custom AI crew behaviour (e.g. stay in vic as long as weapons are operational). Reference PR #57

// ACE Advanced Vehicle Damage
force ace_vehicle_damage_enableCarDamage = false;
force ace_vehicle_damage_enabled = true;
force ace_vehicle_damage_removeAmmoDuringCookoff = true;

This feature will ideally require some testing in mini-ops before we roll it out to regular operations.

Testing Focus

• consistency of damage model: across various mods (ACE3 has already tested vanilla, RHS and CUP, @freghar also tested some 3CB vics and so far there seem to be no compat issues. https://discord.com/channels/154907081256730624/281495773894410240/902873244779020289
• potential balance issues: how does this play out on the server with multiple clients? Are vics too hard to kill now or does it feel "right"?
• AI dismounting behaviour: especially in combination with LAMBS

I'll just note that, in my testing, some vehicles were easy to disable, but nearly impossible to blow up using some weapons, ie. AT4, whereas they were very easy to blow up using others (Javelin/SMAW). It literally took 29 tubes of AT4 (tried both HEAT/HEDP) before I managed to get a BMP-1 to cook off.

This might be fixed in the new point release of ACE3, don't know. But regardless - the BMP was disabled hard, even when it didn't blow up, so damage works.
