Half ton ammo loads are in.Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere.

[OneEyed Jack]

Seen it mentioned a time or two. Only MGs, yes?

There's half ton ammo for all weapons it looks like.

[A Man In A Can]

1/2 ton ammo loads are in for BOTH IS forces and Clan forces for ALL ammo based weapons. Hallelujah.

It is really nice. Now you can take that less ammo when you do not need it (read: zell duels).

[cSand]

Awesome. Some of my mechs have that damn .3 - .5 tons left over at the end of the day. Can now fill it with half a ton of ammo!

I literally did a happy dance when I discovered this.

I am not ashamed.

Now teammates will start taking a single half ton of AMS ammo instead of a single ton- when they take any at all!



But seriously, yeah, this is good news.

[MonkeyCheese]

LOVE IT so much

[YaKillinMeSmalls]

Now I can faithfully recreate the unlisted Urbanmech that the UM-R63 is an upgrade of!

[Exilyth]

Nice, now you can fill all thoose empty slots with half tons of ammo

Seriously though, being able to take halt a ton of ams ammo is great.

How much is in a half ton for odd numbered ammo, like AC/20(7) or AC/10(15) etc.? Rounding up or down?

[Rando Slim]

So much YES!

[blackicmenace]

Its great.

[Archon]

This is such a welcome change! Now if only we could get the lab to just show the ammo for weapons we're using...but hey, I'll take what I can get.

[Gigastrike]

The half ton doesn't actually give half ammo. The U-AC/20, for example, gives 35 rounds for a ton, but only 15 for half a ton.

It rounds down, so taking two half tons is less efficient than a full ton.

[Xenon Codex]

My only beef is that 1/2 ton ammo seems to occupy same amount of crit space as full ton. It'd be nice to split a crit slot with half SRM and half AC ammo, etc.. Of course, I never did try to equip a 1/2 ton ammo so maybe I'm assuming wrong?
