Default Re: Ammo armoured vehicles

Just wanted to point out that commanders at all levels including Platoon or Troop level depending on the military unit employs armoured vehicles to carry ammunition.
That is a pretty sweeping statement for a game which covers 92 nations and organizations during a timespan of over 70 years.
And actually in real life usually they don't. Ammunition is typically handled by trucks most of the time. There have been a few dedicated armored ammunition carriers, typically for artillery, but they have not been available to everyone all the time. If you really have to deliver some rifle/mortar/etc. ammo to an hotspot you can always shove some of it on an APC in a pinch of course, but that can be done in the same way in the game by loading an ammo container on an APC, which brings us to...

The point I was trying to make is that all Nationalities should have some type of armoured ammo carrier.
That's all.
Several nationalities simply would not have armored vehicles at all for part or most of the game lifespan. Not a whole lot of armored vehicles in real life in Gaza or current Somalia for example.
