ST, IFHE changes.

The penalty to firing chance changes with caliber now. It is set to -1% for light calibers up to 139 mm, and to -8% for the rest. This change should make IFHE more viable on DDs and reduce its excessive performance on some cruisers. In case the change is adopted, IFHE is automatically reset for 4 skill points.

ST, Radar changes.

Radar range on RN and USN ships now varies based on target class. VMF Radar hasn’t been changed. Thus, USN cruisers receive a direct buff by additional cruisers, battleships and CVs spotting. RN cruisers, where Radar is a risky option, receive a better balanced choice.
