Description of the proposed changes

TML ACU/Billy Nuke Discord thread. This PR implements the minimum range nerf discussed there.

Increase minimum range of ACU TMLs so that they are less powerful in ACU vs ACU fights.

UEF and Seraphim ACU TML:

  • Minimum range: 15 -> 30

UEF ACU Billy nuke:

  • Minimum range: 15 -> 30
    The range has to be increased so that the minimum range ring for the TML shows up.

I didn't change it for the Seraphim SACU as it is not relevant to ACU vs ACU fights. It could be changed for consistency, but I wouldn't do it until players (not devs) notice and actually care about it.

Testing done on the proposed changes

I tried 25 range and tested if a chasing ACU can be hit by a TML ACU if it is at the edge of gun range, but both factions were able to hit the chasing ACU (UEF more easily), so I increased it to 30. An additional benefit of 30 range is that it provides immediate feedback on whether or not the ACU TML can target you at all.
