Say I have ammunition in both my arm and my leg. Is there any way to dictate which location the ammunition feeds from first?

I know the interface doesn't allow it, but does the order in which I place ammunition into the chassis influence this? Say... the last ton of ammunition placed on the chassis feed first?

Or does it draw from each location equally.

Down the line, it would be an awesome thing if the mech lab had a way to dictate this in a clear manner.

No way to control it, no idea how it uses it. Pretty sure it pulls from all evenly but I could be wrong. Some mechs have a panel that changes and tells you how much ammo is in each body location in real time. I'd keep an eye on that to find out how it's being used.

if it followed the way the weapons are ordered in the list on the side of the screen it may try to feed through from RA first, and going left from there - RA,RT,CT,LT,LA - don't know where the legs would fit in to that though

could probably experiment with it, mount one weapon and shoot a single round, see which ammo box is missing a round when you get back to mechlab.. haven't done it myself though, but would be curious as to how it works also
