Heavy Weapon Tweaks - WotC

For WotC.
This mod attempts to balance out which heavy weapons you will take on missions. Each with their own pros and cons.

Flamethrower and Hellfire Projector:
-Much wider cone of effect, approximately 60 degrees! But less range, about 10 tiles. Comes with 2 charges instead of just one!
-Does +1 damage relative to vanilla. Still causes burning on enemies! (duh)
-Does less damage (per shot) than other heavy weapons, doesn't shred or pierce armor. Not effective against robots. But remember, you can use it twice!
-Highly effective against Lost. Might see if I can make it quieter so it doesn't attract the lost swarms.

Plasma blaster:
-Now the highest single shot damage of all, and it pierces (ignores) just about any armor you will face.
-Does have the most restrictive targeting, only a straight line 1 tile wide (this is unchanged from vanilla).

Shredder and Shredstorm:
-Even better armor shredding. Best in the game, hence the name.
-Slight (15-20%) decrease in shredder/shredstorm range so it's not ri-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-diculous anymore.
-Spread angle tightened up a bit.
-A little less armor piercing (ignoring) than vanilla.

Rocket and Blaster Launcher
-Unchanged

Ini file changes. Will likely conflict with any mods that change the weapon stats I've listed as being changed above. I don't know of any other mods that do this at the current time.

Feel free to incorporate this mod into any more comprehensive mods of your own. Would appreciate a citation in the readme if so.
