Ammo carriers

[DRG]

While we are on this topic in the next release........Ammo Containers/ Canisters are now classed as non-vehicle loads, so they can fit into transport planes for example even if it only has a personnel only lift capacity. In addition, the "crew" is not separated from them when loaded onto transport planes for a para drop, so they drop as a unit.

This was added more to allow scenario designers to be "creative" and allow isolated units to be resupplied by air or if you really want "historical accuracy" and want to make players crazy...

Fallschirmjäger dropped into combat armed only with a pistol and their knife. Upon landing they were expected to dash to drop containers which had been parachuted down along with them. There the would recover their fighting weapons, grenades and other items with which to carry out the mission.

The design of the German army parachute was very reliable but did not allow to control the direction of flight, and paratroopers often landed far from their weapons. At these moments, they could only rely on personal weapons - pistols and hand grenades, which stuffed the voluminous pockets of landing overalls. Many paratroopers were killed when they were trying to get to the containers with weapons.

We cannot supply weapons but you could supply weapon ammo and now you can drop a canister with your paras ( that could have only a bare minimum ammo for rifles/ SMG / Handgrendes and zero for any LMG's
