///PULL CHANGES FROM TFB///

Carriers have a slight buff to their damage in battles to make them better.

Navy Changes:
- NAVAL_STRIKE_CARRIER_MULTIPLIER = 1 -> 1.5 -- damage bonus when planes are in naval combat where their carrier is present (and can thus sortie faster and more effectively)
- Cruiser Armor now grants 10/20/30/40% Torpedo Damage Reduction

- Added .25 piercing to the light guns (Destroyer main gun or the thing you can put in the top row on ships that gives Light Attack) (This will make dedicated Light Attack cruisers suffer a bit less against their torpedo cruiser counterparts)

///PULL CHANGES FROM TFB///
- Shaposhnikov is now safe from the Purge
- Siam now uses the same Propaganda as Manchukuo
- CAS has been Added to the No Father Spirit
- Modified the Admiral GUI to include information about your Capital:Screen ratio and provide the number of screens you need for your capitals to make math easier.

- NNavy.GUN_HIT_PROFILES = { -- hit profiles for guns if target hit profile is lower the gun will have lower accuracy (AKA Bigger gun number = less accurate)
65.0 -> 90, -- big guns
145.0, -- torpedos
55.0 -- small guns
}
- 75% Heavy Gun Hit Chance Factor added to Screening Efficiency Bonus

Shifting the Sortie Efficiency for carriers into making sure you have both good capital and small screens helps prevent stacking them with BB's without properly screening.
- Capital Screening Bonus Sortie Efficiency 30 -> 15
- Screening Bonus Sortie Efficiency 0 -> 40
- BASE_CARRIER_SORTIE_EFFICIENCY .5 -> .25 -- factor of planes that can sortie by default from a carrier

Carriers are a bit strong now, so they are being nerfed a bit to bring their damage in line. They are now an important part of many fleets but no longer alpha strike fleets off the map.
- CARRIER_HOURS_DELAY_AFTER_EACH_COMBAT = 2 -> 8 -- how often carrier planes do battle inside naval combat
- NAVAL_STRIKE_CARRIER_MULTIPLIER = 3.0 -> 1.0 -- damage bonus when planes are in naval combat where their carrier is present (and can thus sortie faster and more effectively)

Wanted to lower some of the debuffs for fleets that have a larger number of smaller ships versus a screen-less navy
- SCREENING_EFFICIENCY_PENALTY_ON_MINIMUM_POSITIONING = 0.5 -> 0.25 -- screening efficiency (screen to capital ratio) at 0% positioning
- AA_EFFICIENCY_PENALTY_ON_MINIMUM_POSITIONING = 0.7 -> 0.3 -- AA penalty at 0% positioning

- NNavy.BASE_GUN_COOLDOWNS = { -- number of hours for a gun to be ready after shooting
1.0 -> 2.0, -- big guns
3.0 -> 2.0, -- torpedoes
1.0, -- small guns
}

BBA 1.4.13 and BBA 1.4.14 - Checksum 5134

- Removed harsh quotas from Japan and Manchukuo
- Nerfed USSR, Manchukuo, SAF, Australia, British Raj, Mexico, and Brazil very slightly
- Further changes to tank designers
- Removed some defense bonuses from paratroopers
- Removed jungle bonuses from marines

///PULL CHANGES FROM TEB///
NNavy.BASE_GUN_COOLDOWNS = { -- number of hours for a gun to be ready after shooting
1.0 -> 2.0, -- big guns
3.0 -> 2.0, -- torpedoes
1.0, -- small guns
}

My testing showed:
1) Light Attack cruisers will mulch destroyers. 36 Light Cruisers with engine 2s are beating a fully upgraded 39DD Torp spam build
2) if you keep up to date on destroyers, they can beat a BC/BB only fleet
3) Light attack only fleets get mulched by BB/BC

Meaning at the very least the BC/BB only fleets running around can be countered, and their counter of destyoer torp spam can be counteres, and that counter can also be beaten

BBA 1.4.12 - Checksum 6158

- Tank design company rework
