1/19/2022 Horde Defense Mod - Hotfix and artillery tweaks

.:Changes:.

[Soviet]
T-34
- T-34's produced before the 15 minute mark will now be T-34 (1940) model with slightly reduced stats to compensate for some AI rushing into armor
Base
• Armor 150 → 120
• Hitpoints 500 → 450


Katyusha
Base
• Fire-aim-time 0.125s → 0.2s

M101A1 Artillery
Base

Garrison Bunker
- will check ground and should cancel if not properly in range
- refund if the bunker is destroyed before construction completes

Terminator Stormtroopers

10/7/2021 - Horde Defense Mod Hot fix

Hi community, tweaking the Katyusha a bit since it is overperforming and causing some annoying headaches in certain scenarios.

.:SOV:.
[Katyusha]
- Range decreased -25%
- Max speed and acceleration -20%
- AI desire to build reduced by 5%
Dev note: Reducing the range of the barrage and the likelyhood of the AI building them to hopefully reduce the spam of rockets. Additionally, lowered their movement speed and acceleration to make them easier to catch for counterplay.
