Default Re: Ammo carriers

This is good info. One small disagreement. In my experience ammo is loaded in the weapon order listed when looking at the details for the unit. For a tank, the main gun is listed first, and will resupply first. A tank mounted 50cal AA machine gun is normally listed last and will load last.

When fighting zombie hordes of 3rd world light infantry, it sometimes pays to turn off the main gun so that during resupply the machine guns will get ammo faster. Otherwise you will need to wait for the main gun ammo to fill and main gun ammo may not be what you want in this situation. I'll take 180 rounds of machine gun over 15 rounds of HE against infantry.

Same sort of issue with helicopters. If you expect to really need anti-tank missile reload - you should turn off the other weapons listed above the missiles so that the ammo is not used and time isn't wasted reloading weapons that may not be useful.

Great game.
