AMS Production Question

[Airlift]

Does anyone know whether an AMS can produce vehicular ammo or only the man-portable stuff?

[OmnipotentKiwi]

Whoever said it could produce either?

[Zatrais]

It has an inventory station on it....
Doubt that it can supply vehicle ammo tho

[mikkyT]

[Zatrais]

limited ammo.

Good, I hate when games have unlimited ammo, in my opinion it takes the fun out of the game.

INFINITE DAMM J00 OH WORKER OF THE INFIDELS!!!

The devs like changed it, at the last minute like! Erm, yeah thats what they did

[Airlift]

Where do you get more ammo for vehicle weapons?

[Zatrais]

Vehicle pads?

*Shrug* i got no idea =/

[Hellsfire123]

Dont think that has ever been addressed, where do you get vech ammo? Maybe your just expected to die or get bored before you run out, or have to repawn the vech? It might be as simple as take the vech back to the spawn pad.

I'm pretty sure the AMS's inv terminal can produce anything a regular console can.

Here's a shot of a regular console:

Notice the tabs across the top of the inv term window: A gun, some armor, a suitcase, bullets/buggy, and a disk.

I'd imagine the disk is for managing inventory presets... the others are all pretty self-explanitory... including the "vehicluar ammo" tab.

So you don't need a vehicle pad to get vehicular ammo. I wonder if you need the cert? I would think not.


So I suppose you could park a tank next to an AMS, and fire continously pretty much forever, with the help of an ammo-schlepper. Of course that would give away the position of your AMS, but the Rain-O-Death might be worth it.

There ARE a couple things with infinite ammo though: Turrets. Both spitfires (deployable) and wall turrets have unlimited ammo. Sitting in a wall turret with the trigger down could be fun.

I think that tank ammo will be gotten the same way you get normal ammo, you just have to make a couple of trips to your tank to fill it up. If it does come from the same pad (don�t see why not) then the AMS would have it. Even if it doesn�t I am sure the AMS will be able to re-supply tanks. I mean if it didn�t then tanks would have a VERY limited offensive capability. Having all of your tanks run out of ammo on the field during a siege is not a good thing lol
