0000890: Russian Tank ammunition loadout
Hello fellas, it's Homer again:

I've been playing a lot of Arma3 with RHS lately and I couldn't stop to wonder why the Russian tanks are in such a shortage of ammunition.
I've taken into account that this might represent a "battle" or "combat" loadout but nonetheless I think this effects the overall gameplay (especially MP, tank vs tank combat) too much.

While T-72, T-80 and T-90 series normally have a capacity maximum of like 44/45 shells (don't have the exact numbers for every model right now, but sure Damian will have them), most of the tanks in Arma3 just have a lousy 22 (!) to 30 shells armament.

Long story short:

I request (for playability) the maximum amount of shells/atgm for the different tank types - to at least encounter an Abrams which has overall 30 APFSDS rounds ready.

Attached you will find a screenshot showing the current Russian tank armament.

Thank you for your attention.

Regards
King Homer
Place any of the Russian tanks and check the current loadout.

I would add option to choose if player want have ammo loaded outside autoloader or nor (more ammo). In autoloader there is 22 rounds, but outside you can carry more ammo, but risk turret fly-off in explosion - choice would be good solution - able to turn in your menu in game (same where you can set radio chatter and active tire)

You see guys, that's the problem we like to solve with service menu in future, so tanks will have ready ammo rack, and storage racks. Right now it was difficult thing to solve with vanilla arma 3 system.

Give us time, at some point we will try to solve it woth proper solution.

Damian, I fully understand this needs a lot of time. My proposal to satisfy me as a player therefore is: As long as this service menue is still work in progress, why not increase the armament to the maximum number. RHS did the same for the Abrams series (they usually have a 27 round ready-rack only).
In my eyes this sure is a reasonable compromise concerning multiplayer.

Yeah, we gonna take a look at this, it's actually really simple bu just increasing number of rounds in config.

I will make an issue on our phabricator. :)
