This doesn't make sense.

If you cannot find the info you seek in the Game guide try MOBHack Help

for example under......"WEIGHT & CARRY CAPACITY RATINGS"

You'll find....

"For example, one unit with a capacity of "255" can carry vehicles, towed guns or personnel up to 55 weight. While the otherwise identical unit with a "199" capacity can carry towed guns and personnel up to 99 weight."

CARRY CAPACITY RATINGS:

2xx (can carry vehicles up to xx weight)
1xx (can carry towed guns/mortars/etc up to xx weight)
0xx (can carry personnel up to xx weight)(the leading zero is left off)


The limitations for 2xx units is, as Andy said above you are limited to 255 because 255 is the highest number you can use in a byte field IF you start counting from zero. This is why you cannot have a barge that carries more than 55 weight of vehicles but one that carries guns ( 199 for example ) can have up to 99 weight
