How to check "Load cost" during purchase

Hi

How can I check "load cost" during purchase, so I would be able to choose a right truck for my unit?

Look at the unit stats for the truck or whatever - it will show as "carry capacity".

18 - 18 men
118 - carries light artillery to weight class 18 (i.e. units that show a * by their name in the purchase screen ), or 18 grunts
218 - carries vehicles up to class 18 weight, or 18 grunts

As for what exactly fits into what - that is a matter of learned experience, but it is not exactly rocket science. If you really need to learn/know, then set up a few scratch purchases of various transports and loads in the battle generator and see what fits onto what in the deployment phase before exiting the scratch game.

I know the general rule. The truck's "carry capacity" is visible, but a "carry cost" is not. Sometimes I just don't know how light is the light mortar (ie. 6 vs. 106) or how heavy that 75mm or 88mm ATG (10x vs 20x)).

I just hoped that's not the solution.
With additional generated battle I don't even have to buy transport for them, because the info during play has "carry cost" value, so I can read it there. Just not during the purchase.
