half a tonne ammo?

[Simon1812]

for example if I only have a srm4 or a srm2 on my mech, do I really need a ton of ammo? also the machine gun ammo, most mech can only fit 1-2 of those machine guns, and yet I have to equip a ton of ammunition, rather wasteful.

I second half ton ammo boxes...you could even make them cost more...I'd still buy em..

Yes, yes, yes, YES! PLEASE!

looking back at this comment, and similar others, I realize that there are mods incorporating such features already. HBS doesnt need to change anything if they don't want to, because there is a growing community of talented and passionate individuals who love the BT universe and this game. these folks have their own idea of what path the game should take or should have taken to be "better", and they have the expertise to make it happen. even if HBS decided to abandon the game tomorrow, the mod community would pick it up, modding is the future of this game.

The issue with this is probably balancing, some weapons would be made significantly better, Machine Guns, which are already extremely effective would especially benefit, there would be not much reason to fit anything else in a 1 to 3 support slot build with half ton MG ammo available and you would probably want to make sure all support slots were populated with MG on mechs where they were available, just because of the great damage to weight benefit and critical chances.

I prefer it as it is, you have to balance how many shots you think you will need against using an extra ton on ammo you may not use.

There are mods for it, but it would be nice if it were in the game. Ideally there would be a ton of little tweaks like that, all attached to checkboxes. The more granularity the better. Give us all the ability to make up our own house rules.

At the very least I'd like half-ton MG ammo because that actually exists in the setting and there are canon mechs equipped with such.

PepsiCan your comment reminded me this other mod Im playing BT Advance 3062, indeed it features half tons for every weapons (missiles, auto cannons, machineguns) pretty cool, damn I can even switch missiles ammo types (normal, Artemis, inferno) while targeting an enemy, modders are adding everything I could possibly want that vanilla doesn't have.
