WildBillKelsoe Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 you need a rearming truck AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse31 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) you need a rearming truck I'm not sure if you understand the question.. The M1A2, for example, has three ammunition storage areas - ready rack, semi-ready rack, and hull storage. In game it takes a 7 seconds to reload a round from the ready rack, 14 seconds from the semi ready rack, and the hull storage is not modeled. In real life, crewmen shuffle their ammo from the semi-ready rack to the ready racks in order to access it faster. We need this ability in game. Regarding ammo trucks - we need visual feedback, or at least a que about [edit] re-arming at trucks.

WildBillKelsoe Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I thought there was an indicator for reloading but not rearming.

Rolds Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Yes this would be great to have, very annoying that you cannot refill the ready rack once it is depleted even when you get a break in the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callsign112 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I am not sure what you mean by ready rack, but try "Lt CTRL" + "R" keys will refill from internal storage, and "Lt Alt" + "\" keys to rearm from an airfield/truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolds Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Then please look up what a ready rack is or read the rest of this thread before replying. The ready rack is the quick access ammunition, the number on the left in rounds remaining when you play CA. Once you use all these, the time between shots increases because the crew need to access shells from a less convenient location. Realistic. But it would be great if you could refill the bloody ready rack from the rest of the ammo when there is time!

Shadow KT Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 A feature, which doesn't exist or at least work currently. There is a command called "Ammunition reloading manual start", which sounds like something that would do a reload of the ready rack, but it currently has literally no function. What happens is, it just gives you a normal reload timer, as if you are loading a new round, or switching boxes on a machine gun and nothing happens, if you had 14 rounds in the box, you will still have 14 in the box after waiting a reload timer. Same for tanks, ready rack is not touched. Would be great if this command would allow you to reload a half empty box or load up the ready rack.

The feature does appear to work with some armored vehicles. I know for sure that it works with the Bradley for example. You can reload TOW missiles from internal storage with Lt CTRL + R keys. Fire one TOW missile, and then hit Lt CTRL + R and your launcher will go back to 2, while the internal storage drops by 1. I just assumed that it worked the same for all armored vehicles. It would be nice if they got around to adding this so that it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An amusing example of the function of the ctrl+R Ammunition reloading manual start is in the Amtrack (AAV7) when using the 40mm grenades. You can start with 96 grenades in the belt, fire 95 of them, hit ctrl+R, wait 1 min for the reloading process to complete, and when it is done you have 1 grenade left in the belt.
