Coding: Formula for calculating armor hp loss and water delay

[[R-DEV]​Arab]

In PR, we have a formula that is different from vBF2 that allows vehicles to be exited before they explode.
As of the next planned hotfix of v1.8.0.3/v1.8.1 - this will fix all inconsistent vehicle settings which will address some vehicles blowing up too quickly in water, or too quickly after critical damage.

Here is the vBF2 Formula:

ObjectTemplate.armor.hpLostWhileUpSideDown - Divide maxHitPoints by 10
ObjectTemplate.armor.hpLostWhileInDeepWater - Divide maxHitPoints by 3 and round to nearest number - so 333 becomes 335
ObjectTemplate.armor.hpLostWhileCriticalDamage - Divide MaxHitPoints by 55

And here is our PR Formula:

ObjectTemplate.armor.hpLostWhileUpSideDown - Divide maxHitPoints by 200
ObjectTemplate.armor.hpLostWhileInWater - Divide maxHitPoints by 20
ObjectTemplate.armor.hpLostWhileInDeepWater - Divide maxHitPoints by 5
ObjectTemplate.armor.hpLostWhileCriticalDamage - Divide maxHitpoints by 400
ObjectTemplate.armor.waterDamageDelay 5
ObjectTemplate.armor.deepWaterDamageDelay 1

Results:
41 seconds from 10 HP until vehicle gets destroyed.
21 seconds from 5 HP until vehicle gets destroyed.
26 seconds in water until vehicle gets destroyed.
5.5 seconds in deep water until vehicle gets destroyed.

And of course, vehicles which are amphibious (drive in water, like the mec_apc_btr80) will not have the water damage delay code which means by default, there won't be any damage applied to the vehicle since it uses ObjectTemplate.floaterMod to keep the vehicle floating combined with Floating Bundle(s), Wing(s) and an Engine set with c_ETShip to help propel it in water.
