Air Combat

Added a fighter interception system

Added a squadron waypoint

Added a new dogfight algorithm

The new air combat features the following:

-A combat system based on cruise speed, maneuverability, firepower, and altitude

-Aircraft with a cruise speed advantage will have an advantage at the start of a dogfight.

-Aircraft with high maneuverability will gain an advantage as engagements lengthen and altitude decreases.

-Fighters utilize an independent ammunition system.

-A dogfight disengagement system, but the aircraft that actively disengages will take damage before completing the disengagement. If conditions permit, disengaging aircraft will trade altitude for speed.

-Aerial combat altitude will automatically decrease during engagements.
