Just for the record which game did you test that showed "Cannisters/Containers can only supply weapons up to warhead size 6."
?
Because the code for both games is......

if (iscannister == SSI_TRUE && Warhead > 5) rounds = 0;

and I supposed "up to warhead size 6" can be interpreted as 5 but not 6.

so Cannisters will not ( theoretically....) supply WH greater than 5 which is a 120mm mortar round which may be higher than we intended many moons ago and there has been some "mission creep". 5 will get you a 120mm mortar round but not most ATGM. The // comment attached to that code is...
Quote:
// cannisters will supply only WH up to 3
and Warhead > 5 is NOT "WH up to 3" ( and that //comment was probably written 20 years ago....)

The problem is WW2 GG and MBT game guide do not quite agree on this as one say "to WH size 3" and the other "to WH size 4" which is what I need to sort out with Andy but it would appear both GG's are wrong and need correcting ( or the code does......probably the GG )

fun-fun-fun......


EDIT...... confirmed both GG should read ( and will on the next release......to WH size 5 MAX
