[MOD] Slower balloons

[greybeard_52]

After having observed that in balloon busting missions the AI and myself never managed to reach the balloon before it has descended too far to be able to follow it in the dive, and seeming to me that this cable rewind speed was unrealistic, with the kind help of VonS on RoF forum, who provided me with an historical value, I managed to make a little mod (loosely based on Gavagai's "reduced lethality") to get this latter in game. Please find it attached (mod is made to be installed by JSGME).

Good job. What is a difference, do you have a source?Maybe it could be used to convince devs to change it globally.
