[1.20f]Troop Weight and Logistics issues

Post by zgrssd »

I noticed some issues in the weight Department:

Model Weights:
The Model Indicates the weight is 5 for everything Infantry based.

The actual weight when deployed is 10*:
5 Model + 2* Food + 3 Ammo

My MG units weight 15*!
5 Model + 2* Food + 8 Ammo

*-1 once they start eating food. See below.



I know the exact figure will depend on the Supply Situation of the deployed unit, but there should be some hint the unit will weight 2-3 times the stated amount due to Food and Ammo.
And that is before we go into the ridiculous ammo amounts that Quad MG, AT Guns or Artillery will carry.

Annexed Militia Ammo
The Rifle Militia I got from Annexation (Protection Treaty Triggered) weighs 6: 5+1 (Food)
It looks like the 2 Ammo/Subunit they carry is not actually accounted for.

GR ammo issue?
My GR MG also weights only 6 (5+1 Food) - but I can not say if that is because their Ammo is (weightless) energy, or because their Ammo is not accounted for.

Unit Food Storage:
I also noticed a issue with their Food - once consumption starts, they are perpetually at 1/2 per Subunit.
It looks like Supply happens before consumption, so they never store the intended 2 turns worth of food.
They only ever have the 2 expected Food when they are raised, never after.

I can understand want to do 1 Food delivery before consumption (in case a unit is starving), but you could add a 2nd Food pass after consumption? Like, let that food use the same limited connection as Ammunition?

Here a savegame for the weight issues

The "4th Chartges Rifle Regiment" at 23/28 weights only 180:
5 Model + 1 Food

However the "7th Chartges Rifle Regiment" at 24/25 weighs the proper 126:
5 Model + 2 Food + 3 Ammo

Thanks Zgr!
I am thinking of making some fine-tuning here in the very near future.
At the moment fuel/energy has no weight and food/ammo has.

The supply storage is working as intended its just they consume food as well after being maxed out. Changing this would also make units much more resistant against encirclement.

The weight of the Charges units is correct.
4th for example:

2000x rifle = weight 100
60 x ammo = weight 60
20 x food = weight 20
total =180 weight
