About this mod
Corrects the base cooling rate for mechs with double heat sinks

In Mechwarrior 5, a mech's engine contains a number of built in heat sinks based on the engine rating. each single heat sink (SHS) contribute 0.1 to the mech's heat dissipation. Each double heat sink (DHS) contributes 0.2. This means most mechs with SHS should have a baseCoolingRate of 1 (0.1 x 10) and most mechs with DHS should have a baseCoolingRate of 2 (0.2 x 10). For some reason in Mechwarrior 5, all mechs have a baseCoolingRate that is calculated as though the mech's engine contains SHS, even if the engine actually contains DHS. This mod increases the baseCoolingRate of mechs with DHS from .1 to .2 per built in heat sink, which significantly increases the mech's effectiveness.
