LiveNoMore Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I am playing a scenario where I have an entire company of Sturmgrenadiers armed with the StG44. Problem is the lack of extra ammo for resupply. I have looked in all the HT.s and found 1 that has 500 rounds. So I started looking at all trucks, HT,s and bunkers available to the Germans. Basically, there are no resupply points which have an adequate amount of 7.92K ammo. The bunkers had 60 rounds. Supply trucks have 500 rounds in 1 of the trucks. HT's have none. You would think that the commanders of units with StG44 weapons would stash some extra ammo in the supply vehicles! Why send a unit to battle with a weapon that has a high cyclic rate and no ability to reload? Am I missing something? And if not, this should be addressed somehow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveNoMore Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 OK, figures I'd find something after posting my rant! I found a mounted platoon in which all the HT's have 3k ammo for the 7.92k This solves the current issue, but doesn't address the issue if it is not a Sturmgrenadier unit with the StG44. I think more ammo for this gun needs to be available for resupply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik mond Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 That could be a plausible situation for the 7.92k ammo. In terms of availability in the game it is present in the resupply platoon trucks, if a resupply unit is included in the scenario design. And halftracks as you discovered. But the average troop transport Opel truck would not have carried it. That is not an oversight but the actual reality at that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ts4EVER Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 In fact I have read accounts of troops ditching their StGs due to lack of ammo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to know where they ditched them? Just kidding of course. Edited February 11, 2017 by Aragorn2002 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crsutt Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I played a campaign scenario where there was no resupply for the Stg44s at all. I suspect that it was just a design mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
