Default Re: A suggestion

Believe me the vehicle carry capacity, unit load cost issue is a major pain in the arse.
I've had to slightly adjust the carry capacity of a few vehicles because the only other choice would be to create an entire set of infantry units that fit into the vehicles.
Lesser of two evils thing.
Then there's the problem that in many cases the number of people in squads and weapon teams vary during different time periods so often a APC type vehicle is in use that just plain can't carry a TO squad. Sure, most nations will adjust the size of a squad to fit their vehicles...eventually. Or may just assume given combat losses the squad size will be less then TO so will fit anyway.
All of which makes this sort of cross checking a REAL pain in the arse.

OH YEAH... it was ME!

Now try it with an additional 127 OOB's

There is "reality" and "game reality" and the OOB's need to fit the game reality becasue that's the "reality" you are dealing with here

In "reality" you can split a squad in two NO PROBLEM and send it off in two vehicles. That's not possible in the land of "game reality" and trying to make one reality fit the other without making compromises SOMEBODY is going to complain about is impossible.
