Pass the Ammunition

Post by Capt. Pixel »

For those who wondered what rate various weapons reload at (that's BOTH of you), here ya go. A small sampling of various weapons systems (In my humble observations :p )

Couple of interesting results -

Soviet 120mm Mortars reload at half the rate of their counterparts.

The M12 155 must have some special loading gear, it's 50% faster reloading than its counterparts.

Flamethrowers reload at a very high rate.

Ammo dumps reload some types of rockets at three times the truck reload rate.

Tigers reload faster with an ammo dump than with two trucks.

Enjoy. :cool:

Very interesting research, Cap'n! :D

My reflection: It's not surprising that FT's reload quick as they are sort of a liquid MG - it's just to pull the trigger (and allow for cooling between shots).

The M12's just... :eek: ...is it just me or does it reload REALLY fast with a dump, considering it's ROF?

Awesome M12's

Yep - they do!. I was also so startled at the difference, that I checked it THREE times. Same result each time.

You know, and it's like the US needs more advantages. :rolleyes:

I mean, they already got M4s and stuff. ;)

Really? I just finished a PBEM in which I had 6 SO 120mm's around an ammo dump...as long as I had them fire at 0.1 or 0.2 (allowing them to perform an ammo transfer too) their stock remained almost constant the entire game. Maybe I just had some crews with higher experience.

Off subject, but in SPIII you can reload helicopters at a dump by hovering over it. Always got a big grin from the mental picture:D

Yeah you could do that in SP2 also. Great fun with those little hellfire gunships. Nothing moved on the battlefield. :D
