Ryujin Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 you mean the crew served grenade machinegun? It takes high velocity 40x53mm belted ammo, the AG36 UGL on the L85A2 takes low velocity 40x46mm which is what is in your bulldog I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos49 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 if that the case, i wonder why there are so manny 40x46mm and not 40x53mm witch i use a lot more than the ohter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I think you may have to have one of their "Land Rover" ammo resupply vehicles. UK Royal Mud Marines is an xnt scenario and a great trainer for all UK inf-type weapons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 British Army vehicles carry the ammunition for the units that they support/carry. So whichever vehicle is associated with the GMG team will carry the right ammo. A section vehicle will not carry ammo that it's section cannot use. There just isn't the room. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen HQ vehicles haul 40mm ammo even though no one there has a grenade launcher... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Well, HQ vehicles are a bit of an exception, as there are generally fewer guys in them. As a rule of thumb, they will not hold ammo that their subordinate units don't use (That would go up to company-level, because technically the Fire Support Platoons come from a separate company) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny(FGM) Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I've seen HQ vehicles haul 40mm ammo even though no one there has a grenade launcher... Probably Mech Rifle Plts right? Unless Im mistaken all the AFVs in a platoon are identical, there is no specialist HQ vehicle until you get higher up the command chain. So Identical vehicles = identical ammo load out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golani Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I also seem to recall, though don't hold me to it, that some of the AFVs carry Javelin missiles though not the launcher itself (of course I mean vehicles that don't carry a Javelin team). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 There is some variation with Armoured Infantry, so there would probably be something similar with Mech Inf. No British vehicle carries a Javelin Launcher as the Launchers are always assigned to a dedicated team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos49 Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 so it only the Fire Support teames vehicles that can resupley them, with a few extra grenades. there are 5 Bulldog in a Section the have in total to the GL 192 grenades extra its 96 to each team, so the each team have in total 144 HEDP grenades to a 2 hour fight its got used up i 5 min. its the same problems i have with the RED GL teams to few grenades. why is it the Bulldog have 320 HEDP grenades were only 32 are to GL teams ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 With the Fire support Section assigned to each Mechanised Infantry company, there are 64 grenades carries by each team. Each Bulldog carries a further 320 grenades, this includes the grenades carried by the GPMG vehicles, so the total count for three teams is just shy of 2000, or 640 each (plus the 64 they start with. Then there is the further 320 rounds in the HQ vehicle. there is a limit to how many rounds the teams can acquire, because they are heavy. The Light Infantry (in the WMIKs) has 320 rounds per GMG plus 256 or so in the HQ vehicle. Unfortunately, because it's a bit of a fudge, the dismounted GMGs can only resupplied from the HQ wagon. This is as it is, so I do not understand what your problem is. Is English a second language for you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingknives Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I'm not so familiar with PBEM/WEGO these days. What is happening when you try to select the grenades? Do you select them and they do not show up, or is it the case that you cannot select them? If it's the second, it might be an overloading situation as the GMG 2-man teams can only carry about 100 grenades at a time. Do you have a save game available? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
