Save weapon data before moving off. Now open your modified APC in the units tab, find the cannon (probably slot 1) and change its ID to the slot number you used to paste the copied data into. Change ammo to suit. Save OOB and exit Mobhack. Job done (though you should run the points calculator on the resulting OOB).
May I subsequently distribute a scenario with modified APC as described above without distributing the modified OOB?

That is what I had thought. So, in designing a scenario, I am left with two alternatives use the USA 25mm M242 with sabot values or load the Bushmaster 30mm and give it sabot ammo.

Using these two options, I can publish a scenario without distributing a modified OOB.

OK I was waiting for someone to suggest the obvious but I see that isn't happening ( everything but....)

Maybe a few others might pay attention as well----you're going to LEARN SOMETHING about the game

Buy your US Army Striker........it won't have the proper Icon until next patch but you seemed determined to add it to a scenario anyway........

Change to USMC...

OK so far ?

Now........go to the editor menu and press the " Change the current units data" button.

Now click on weapon 1.... Now...... remember the game now thinks you are USMC because you changed to USMC.....so it gives you the USMC weapon list ( !! )

Enter 77 for the weapon ( TA Da !! .........30mm Bushmaster complete with sabot pen data ) then add the ammo you want......this thing only carries 2x 75 rounds and with autocannot it's bursts so 12 HE and 13 Sabot is what it gets ( still under review along with how many troops it can carry )


Go back to the purchase screen,,,,,, change back to US army and save and this is what you will see
