if let's say i have ammo stored in my left leg, left side torso and my center torso, does mwo have a formula to choose which ammo location to use first when i'm firing?

does ammo even get "used up" by location? or is it like, as long as an ammo storing location gets destroyed, ammo automatically explodes and you lose the maximum amount of ammo stored in there?

Here

Head first or head last; it's somewhat unclear. Last post seems authoritative.

i think it is something like CT, LT, RT, LA, RA, LL, RL.. head might be first or is it after torso?? I think it's something like this.. I know there is an exact order.... maybe someone has a link to it?

Bring back the old cockpit monitors that showed Ammo and Heatsink status

Shouldnt really matter if the head is last or first i think. Even while running a standard of 6 head armor points i almost never deplete that armor and maybe get headshot killed every couple hundred matches, if even.

But now that im thinking about it, i never had an ammo explosion in the cockpit, so head might be the first in the order.

I do find it strange they removed actual feedback in place of GIFs

Heatsink monitor (which sometimes worked) and the ammo counter (which sometimes worked)


Granted, it would be best if they worked reliably...but it was a nice piece of fluff, instead of a kill counter and GIFs
Not even Kitten GIFs...

In that case, I think it would matter and head last would be best. You would want the ammo in the other (more likely to get crit) locations to use their ammo first.
