[1.16.9] More Designing: Air Units Addon

Light cosmetic and gameplay customization mod. Ever wonder why theres no medium naval bomber, so did other guys and me too. All airframes are allowed most modules and to become all aircraft types, by adding new air units. ie: turn a strategic bomber into a super-heavy fighter. Also minor module rebalancing. Check the Naval Units Addon sister mod.

FEATURES

MODULES CHANGES
• Multi engine mods slightly increases range and reliability (less accidental crashes). 2x, 3x, 4x or 6x engine planes make sense now.
• HMG and heavy gun mods can do logistic strikes.
• CAS bombs can do port strikes.
• All bomb bays can do naval strikes.
• Light bays can do tiny strategic strikes.
• Heavy bays can do a tiny cas.
• Air anti-tank guns can do interception, naval strikes and port strikes missions.
• Torpedoes cant do naval patrol missions anymore.
• Earthshaker and rocket-bombs can do naval strikes.
• Only Recon or Air-Ground Radar mods can do recon and naval patrol missions. Radars also gives naval detection during naval patrol.
• Radio Nav, Bomb Sight and Air Radar mods now give a stat multipler instead of adding flat bombing stats. They are now SUPER valuable as in IRL.
• ADDED a medium dive brake for medium airframes.
• All Dive brakes disallow installing medium/heavy bomb bays, can be used during logistic strikes and increase reliability (cos they prevent crashing into the ground).
• Torpedos no longer give airframes the maritime patrol role (floatplane), instead add floats to the main armament slot. Inconvenience of my system but IRL the floats were major loads and floatplanes were mostly just recon aircrafts.
  
  NEW UNITS (between () is the role type)
• Light airframes: Recon Fighter (Recon), Floatplane Fighter (Maritime Patrol), Strike Fighter (Tactical), Penetration Fighter (Strategic). CAS is renamed to Attack Fighter.
• Medium airframes: Attack Bomber (cas), Interdiction Bomber (Strategic), Patrol Bomber (Naval), Floatplane Bomber (Maritime Patrol). Recon Plane is renamed to Recon Bomber.
• Heavy airframes: Bomber-Destroyer (Heavy Fighter), Strike Bomber (CAS), Penetration Bomber (Tactical), Maritime Bomber (Naval), Strategic Recon (Recon). Maritime Patrol Bomber is renamed to Flying Boat.

To do: add gfx icons for the units, tech-module images. fix weird equipment icons. add intercontinental, mothership and helicopter airframes.
