Very interesting, thank you.

Lately I've been pairing up my British Javelin teams with a Quad bike team from the ordinance section. (Yes, it has a carry capacity!)

Transport and resupply in one cheap little package!

Re: Best infantry. 1940s post WW2
 

You can resupply inf atgm with such a small ammo "station"? Interesting. I guess they can carry more than an ammo crate.

Re: Best infantry. 1940s post WW2
 

ATGM's should be able to rearm from an ammo crate,

Missles are very light things,unlike heavier shells of the same warhead size,
What may be confusing is thier actual firepower is "againist" only armour.

Re: Best infantry. 1940s post WW2
 

Hmm, I remember trying to rearm a milan 2 (or 3) team by an ammo crate and after a few turns nothing changed, that was about a year or so ago, IIRC.

Unless I don't remember correctly that is.

Re: Best infantry. 1940s post WW2
 

Oh yes, it definately works.

You still have to be careful with these chaps, as the quad bikes are quite slow and will struggle to out run the inevitable counter artillery if you hang around for more than one turn.

Re: Best infantry. 1940s post WW2
 

Quad bikes are just as "big" as any other ammo carrier in terms of ammo supply. It's an ammo truck.

Some ammo carriers do have a lift capacity - though the quad bike is however a typo from when I copied over the original light vehicle. So it'll likely be removed in the next update. (the general guideline is no carry for ammo vehicles) - but a quick SQL search shows a few surprises there, that may need addressing...

Ammo containers (a different beast entirely) can resupply up to WH size 5 or so. Might be 6. Therefore some missiles will work. Ammo containers can be loaded as passengers of weight class 6 or thereabouts (ie in a typical jeep). Ammo containers have a small supply capacity as well, it will take ages compared to parking beside a supply dump.

Ammo container was upped in WH size to allow medium mortars, MAW and other rifle company weapons (typically WH 4-5) to be resupplied as well as small arms. Probably when the Weapon Size field was obsoleted?. Not many ATGM are WH size 6 or less. RPG-7 will likely resupply from them, RPG-28 probably not.

Nooooo! I thought I was a tactical genius, but I've actually just been exploiting a typo! Argh!

Re: Best infantry. 1940s post WW2
 

You can still use a regular jeep-type vehicle for that. :P
