Low Ammo OOB

[Cross]

I managed to save my custom OOBs with any probs. Like you said, as long as you commit the changes as you go it works fine.

I won't touch any of the fortifications. They usually have 90 or 120 ammo, which is as it should be for those units.

I will have different ammo load-outs for LMGs and HMGs (Tripod MGs).

The HMGs will have more ammo than the LMGs. I worked out a system and spreadsheet where MGs have a maximum ammo based on whether they're a HMG or LMG, and what their KILL value is.

HMG ammo is also calculated according to the number of MGs and the number of crew in the unit.

LMGs use a similar system based on squad size. So if you purchase a 3 man LMG team, or a 4 man scout team with LMG, they won't be carrying 1200 rounds of ammo.

I have 3 men teams carrying 60% of their LMGs full ammo load, and it goes up to that weapons full load for 10 men or more.

Infantry weapon load-outs have been assigned based on the webbing ammo pouches that the troops carried, when it's known.

Otherwise, I'm using a generic average for that type of weapon with it's KILL value.

Grenades are assigned based on the four weapon slots. If two of a units weapon slots are filled with heavy gear, then the unit will normally carry a light grenade load. If only one of the slots is filled with heavy weapons, then the unit will usually carry a heavy grenade load.

But there's a few exceptions, like units with SMGs as their primary weapon in slot 1 will get a 'free' upgrade to heavy grenades, as SMG troops are usually intended for close combat.

I'm looking forward to testing them soon. It will be interesting to see if I need some sort of dedicated ordnance supply for each company, and the impact that will have on the game.
