Negative. Canisters show "0" but for some odd reason they're not. Their crew is also not relative to their actual weight. They require a carry capacity of 106 or more. I had to figure this out by incrementally increasing carry capacity in WinSPMBT while modding, and I just set the carry capacity to 128 in WinSPWWII and the C-47 could carry the canister just fine. |
Ammo units are are ammo carrier unit class.
The ammo carrier is a
vehicle class.
We wrote special kludge code for loading them that allows loading containers onto a 1XX load class as if guns/weapons rather than a 2XX class. (That it is a container and not an ammo truck is determined from crew count and I think unit size, and having speed 0).
(With the new loading code for air drops, these as crewed units will likely also now split into an abandoned unit and a crew which both parachute separately and need to be re-linked on landing, assuming no casualties, to work.)
