Dismounts

[Retro]

Is there a way to control (or even just look up) what weapons dismounted infantry is carrying? I'm mostly wondering about ATGMs, does for example a BMP1 platoon carry AT4 or AT13?

Thanks

When you put a unit on a map while building a mission, you can right-click on it, select Options, Set Ammunition, and make changes from the dialogue-box thusly created.

The box shows you default ammo settings, which are the same whether you're placing Red units or Blue units. You can change the ammo by left-clicking on a particular ammo type (ATGM, for example) then going to the lower window of the dialogue box and selecting the particular species of weapon you want your unit(s) to carry, along with how many of them you want each unit to carry.

Note that you can specify type and quantity, then apply both to all applicable units. If you're designing a scenario, think about the time period in which it's supposed to take place. There are lots of ammo choices, and they tend to have narrow windows of availability, at least in terms of when you can start using them.

Thanks for your reply, but the way you describe does not help me.. by this method I can set the ammunition loadout of the vehicle but not the dismounts.. for example, if I do this with the BMP1, the ammo dialogue offers me HEAT/Coax/ATGM.. otoh if I manually create an infantry company and bring up its ammo dialog box, I can edit ATGM/RPG/MG.. there seems to be no way to edit RPG/MG (and also ATGM, since it is a different one from the one that is mounted on the carrier) for dismounted infantry

Or did you actually mean that I should manually create an infantry unit, edit its loadout and apply it to all similar units - which would include dismounts?

Retro, you can NOT edit the BMP1 infantryes weapon loadout, its only already dismounted infantry (pure infantry that you can modify as Shot tells you.)

so all infantry that are dismounting from any kinds of vehicle is not changebel., unfortunly...

is there any possibility of getting a list of what equipment dismounts from all the diffrent PC/IFVs have as default? is the equipment the same for a BMP-1 and a BMP-2 for example?

[Retro]

Thanks for the clarification.. I presume this is already on "the list" ?

Yes, a table of default loadouts for dismounts would be useful.

I would like to know this as well.
