Default Re: C-130 carry amount

One thing I spent a considerable amount of time on when I redid the USMC OOB was vehicle/aircraft/landingcraft carry capacity and the weights of vehicles and helos.

The (more-or-less) default weight of an M1 Abrams is 45-50.
The (more-or-less) default carry capacity of a C-130 is 255.
So in WinSPMBT a C-130 can carry an M1 Abrams ...

When I redid the USMC I made most tanks weigh 55 and limited the carry capacity of anything but large landing craft (LCM-8, LST) to X54 so this could not happen. But a CH-53 can carry a LAV, but not an LVT/AAV ... etc. etc. etc.
To go thru and revise all the OOBs would be a not-so-minor nightmare.
