(5)Supply

I have to look at the cargo weights to see if this would work, but I think it does

(5)(a) We only use “10 of everything” crates when running supplies to Zones.

These are heavier than the “10 A2G missile” etc crates, and as such you can carry less of a given munition in a given load. This simulates the need for beans as well as bullets at a given basing location.

(5)(b) If there is a paved runway at the location, a C-130 must land to drop off supplies, if there is not, airdrop is permissible. You can of course always rough field land the C-130 if there’s not a paved runway.

(5)(c) Munition specific crates (10 A2G missiles etc) can be loaded to player created FARPS though per (4)(c) the first crate needs to be a “10 of everything”.

Had a chance to verify cargo weights. A few changes will be in order.

The UH-60 and Mi-24 can spawn and load any of the 10x munitions crates. The Huey can only spawn a crate of rockets, it can potentially sling load the other 10x warehouse munition cargo options (10 bombs, 10 missiles, etc) at roughly 2200lbs/1000kg, but you can’t spawn them from the Huey.

The Mi-8 and CH-47 are the only helo’s that can spawn a “10 of everything” crate, at ~7700lbs/3500kg. Only the CH-47 can carry it internally.

The system generates zone cargo at a different weights for each helo, so they can all carry at least 1 zone cargo internally. I don’t think we can use zone cargo for resupply (and as it carries 30 of everything it’s very unbalanced), but if we can take a zone I’ll check.

C-130’s can still carry pretty much anything and in quantity, so we could leave the “10 of everything crate” rules in play, it just means zone supply will really only be a C-130, Mi-8, and CH-47 job.

Alternatively, we can strike anything about the “10 of everything crate” ( so (4)(c), (5)(a), and (5)(c) ), and it’s whatever you can fit in your helo we’ll work with.
