Remove +4 for attacking targets on the ground when targeting VTOL / WiGE ground units.

Notes:
While this does have the effect of making VTOL and WiGE units slightly more enticing for ASF on the ground map, it does not make them any better targets for AAA or LAA missile attacks than other ground units... except in cases where a VTOL has only moved a handful of hexes:

Before:
3 Gunnery + 2 (Ground Strike) + 4 (AAA vs Ground Target) + TMM (usually +3 ~ +4) + 1 (Flying VTOL) ~= TN of 13 - 14

After:
3 Gunnery + 2 (Ground Strike) + TMM (usually +3 ~ +4) + 1 (Flying VTOL) ~= TN of 9 - 10

Compare to attacking a slow-moving Mek target:
3 Gunnery + 2 (Ground Strike) + 4 (AAA vs Ground Target) + TMM (usually +1 ~ +2) ~= TN of 10 - 11

So most VTOL will be marginally better targets than slow ground units, but not at all sitting ducks.

Notably, VTOLs are slightly better platforms for AAA / LAA missiles against ASFs than the reverse:
4 Gunner + 0 ~ 2 (target side) + AMM (usually +1 ~ +2) + range (usually +2 for medium) ~= TN of 7 ~ 10

Testing:

  • Ran several Bot v Bot tests.
  • Ran all 3 projects' unit tests
