Victory At Sea Atlantic — Update 1.1.1.0

Update 1.1.1.0 is now live.

This one adds two new researchable aircraft variants for the Luftwaffe, gives German vessels a mix of steam and electric torpedoes, and makes a broad pass over enemy AI behaviour and aircraft spotting. There's also a long list of fixes covering weapon assignments, firing arcs and fleet handling.
