Halftrack gunner acquiring ammo in same halftrack half works

[mikeschuette]

I have a German halftrack with extra ammo. I can select acquire command and the ammo type appropriate to the halftrack machine gun - I think - (7.92 AP). The stored ammo amount is decremented but the amount of ammo available to the gunner does not increase. Either this is not allowable and I should not be able to select the acquire button or the ammo should be incremented.

The vehicle ammo and extra ammo can be found in the UI: Details Panel / Reports / Ammo.  The ammo count listed on top in one color* is for the vehicle’s weapons systems. The ammo count listed on the bottom in a different color is the extra supply ammo that can be Acquired by troops.  If the vehicle’s ammo runs out the vehicle will take ammo from the extra supply.  The crew ammo is listed on the left under unit info panel / ammo.  A vehicle will not take crew or passenger ammo.  Crew and passengers can’t Acquire vehicle ammo.  All can take or Acquire extra supply ammo. Example: A tank crew could Bailout, Acquire .50 cal. ammo and re-crew their tank.  The tank would however not be able to use the .50 cal. ammo.  Or a halftrack could run low on .30cal ammo for the machinegun, take .30cal ammo from the extra supply and use it. 

*The color of the ammo counts can be different depending on which Combat Mission title you are playing.
