Autocannon ammo loadout of AFVs

[DRG]

Tell you what..... if ammo loads for autocannons on IFV's is going to be an ongoing issue that "everyone" just "has" to have fixed start ONE thread and start listing ammo loadouts by vehicle and what OOB's and unit numbers need changing and I will look at it. There is about 10 days left for this "issue" to be resolved

As for carry capacity for the "AIFV".what is it? Also Remco, you more than anyone know the potential ramifications of simply changing carry capacities without checking every unit that uses that vehicle and does it REALLY matter if one is 8 and one is 9 ? "Maybe" that reflects actual usage in each nation ? If you don't know for sure Turkey doesn't cram more troops into it than Belgium does there's no reason to change it.

Hello all,

for my first post here, i'm gonna talk about something that i know well since i spent six years of my life in the infantry with countless hours aborad AIFV.

When the army had lot of manpower due to conscription, their were 10 men aboard "AIFV canon" (YPR765 with 25mm turret).

They were 1 driver, 1 gunner, 1 vehicle chief, 1 (disembarked) section chief and 6 "Voltigeurs" (3 FNC, 2 Minimi, 1 MAG).

When conscription ended, the section chief is acting as vehicle chief and when he disembark, the gunner become the vehicle chief.

It must also be known that there are about 10 LAW, about 6 mines ATM6, 10 hand grenades and 4 HAFLA DM-34(hand held phosphore launcher, well know for it's balls breaker recoil .

If it could be usefull, i can review the belgian TOEs.

cheers,

Jan
