Relates to

This change reduces China Warfactory door times. It equals USA Warfactory door times.

Object DoorOpeningTime DoorWaitOpenTime DoorCloseTime
Original USA Warfactory 3250 3000 4000
Patched USA Warfactory 3300 3000 3300
Original China Warfactory 4000 2000 5000
Patched China Warfactory (this) 3300 3000 3300

This enables China to build all vehicles 700 ms, 21 frames, quicker.
The door animation duration has been set to 99 frames to match the 3300 ms properly.

Rationale

Factory door time is added on top of production time. This means when a vehicle shows ready in the production queue, it takes the door to fully open until the vehicle can spawn. The original 4 seconds make this an awfully long experience compared to USA and GLA. On top of that the visuals show the door open for 2 seconds until the vehicle finally spawns, which makes the wait more painful to anticipate, as the vehicle does not spawn after the door stopped moving, unlike it does with USA and GLA factories (See first video below).

Reducing the door time and adjusting the animation for the duration of new time will make the behaviour consistent with USA. It makes the machanic easier to anticipate and learn cross factions, and a more pleasant experience in practice.

Inherently this makes all China factions produce vehicles quicker. This can be desirable, because China is often the faction under early pressure against both GLA and China. If vehicles produce too quickly because of it, it is advised to revisit vehicle build times.
