Had the same issue with the Spitfire on a multiplayer server. All assists off.

Hi Flappie, can you take a look again? Here's a video showcasing the issue:

Hello! Yes, I think I didn't make it clear in the OP. My bad. It should be 800 ready rounds in coaxial, plus another 1.400 rounds for reloading, making a total of 2.200 rounds.

The Bradley in DCS currently has 800 rounds of 7,62mm, with no reload. It should have, instead, 800/1400 rounds of 7,62mm. Source: http://afvdb.50megs.com/usa/m2bradley.html

The LAV-25 in DCS currently has 210 rounds of 25mm with no reload, 440 rounds of 7,62mm on the coaxial gun + 220/880 rounds of 7,62mm for the gun pintle mounted. It should be, instead, 210/420 rounds of 25mm (150/300 HE + 60/120 AP), 400 rounds of 7,62mm on coaxial, 100 rounds on pintle mount. Now, from my unterstanding, there are another 1.100 rounds of 7,62mm for rearming in the vehicle, but I'm not sure if they are used on both guns or not. One option is to give the coaxial one reload of 400 rounds and the remaining ammo goes for reloading the one on top of the turret. Either way, the total ammo is different from what we have now. If someone with better knoledge on the matter is here to help, please do.

How to reproduce: With a Leclerc unit in the map, go to AMMO tab, edit the loadout as such: First tab full to the right, second to the left, third to the right and fourth to the left. This doubles your ammo count, carrying 40 APFSDS and 40 HE rounds. Leclerc ammo bug.miz

Hi @Silver_Dragon! Yes, I'm aware of that effect. But it was only triggered by damage caused to the vehicle. What I have in mind is something like "Press G to Smoke Grenade", and you have a smoke screen in front of you for a couple of seconds. As for only the Commander being able to use it, if we got the ability to share command on the same vehicle, sure. But at the moment, the player is doing all tasks simutaneously (minus reloading). It would be amazing, thou, to have that option (ie one player as driver, one as gunner and another as commander).

I'd like to suggest the implementation of smoke grenades for armored vehicles capable of using them. They work as a smoke screen for the MBT/IFV/APC to retreat to a safe position, or to break line of sight from the enemy. IR weapons can lose track if one vehicle uses this, and optically guided ATGMs have a hard time hitting one target behind the smoke screen. Example:

I'd like to suggest that this feature is added to Combined Arms. It's very needed and works towards realism in the DCS enviroment. Neutral Steering is when the 2 tracks are moving in oposite directions, turning the tank in place. Example: Pivot Steering is when one track is moving, while the other is stationary. This moves the tank in the direction of the stopped one, working basically as a pivot. Example: (15 seconds to 28 seconds)

The ammo count for the Marder-1 20mm gun in DCS today is 417 HE rounds and 118 AP rounds, with no reload, for a total of 535. The 7,62mm has in DCS 200/3800 rounds. It should be, instead, 1.250 rounds (330/550 HE + 170/200 AP), while the 7,62mm should have 500/4500.

Hi @Flappie! Any news on issue 2?

The ammo count for Leopard 1A3 in DCS today is 200 rounds of 7.62, with no reload. It should be, instead, 230 rounds in 20 boxes, for a total of 4.600 rounds. Source: https://bdex.eb.mil.br/jspui/bitstream/1/1541/1/ip1782.pdf - page 13 (use google translate). - It's a Leopard 1A1 manual, and there's no reason to believe that the upgrades made for the A3 would remove ammo. If there's a better source, please share it here.

Please, increase the range! It's very annoying to see the grass and rocks literally growing 250 meters from your vehicle!

Not being able to see the F-5E remastered in MV was a deal breaker for me. Hopefully they change their mind.

It's not. The turret is overshooting by a lot the target, sometimes doing almost a full 90º turn from the point of the release of controls. As of today, 20th jan patch, this issue still persists.
