Ammo Loadout for 60mm Mortars
Looking at the Mobhak Manual under Ammo Loadouts I see "Howitzer & mortar loads are 5xROF for on-map pieces".
Checking the OOB's I find the default 60mm Mortar (ROF 8) mas a 3-man crew and 60 ammo.
Up until the change to the M224 mortar for most of it's history the USMC has used a 6-man light mortar crew (Team Leader, Gunner, A-Gunner, 3 x Ammo humpers).
This would imply they should have a larger ammo loadout (say 90 rounds, possibly more).
Other then general game conventions is there any specific reason for the ammo loadout?
