v1.7.1 TOW emplacement is now labour intensive

[axytho]

The TOW is now a better crew served weapon, although having the reload bar return would be nice. The SPG-9 on the other hand has become very unuseable, especially given the nerf to resupplying ammo technicals.

It seems to take 30 seconds per small ammo crate resupplied, which means that the ammo technical takes 90 to resupply 6 SPG-9 rockets, not considering the time required to drive back and forth.

The spg-9 technical on the other hand resupplies much more quickly for some reason, so is now always a better option, which is a bit silly..

One person manning an spg-9 technical, parking it somewhere and shooting from stationary >> full squad manning and resupplying spg-9.

(and yes, I've ran several squads attempting to do the latter).

From changelog:
Updated with reduced reload time of deployable ATGM by 5 seconds.
Updated with reduced delay to use of deployable ATGM by 5 seconds.
Updated with reduced time to shovel deployable ATGM.

The big problem is that the SPG-9 did not seem to have gotten this change. (I haven't tested exact timing, so I might be wrong, but it feels slower that the ATGM's).
