Autocannon ammo loadout of AFVs

[Mobhack]

it is only a guideline that "10 cannon rounds = 1 burst", for example the WW2 German 20mm and the Post war UK Rarden are treated as mainly a form of big SLR, so more shots from a given number of rounds. Also, larger cannon might get the same effect from fewer rounds. Then - what about Vulcan type cannons?.

so - there is really no "grand unified theory" - it is up to the individual OOB designer to decide what the ammo loadout should be for a particular vehicle. Given a new vehicle, one might divvy up the ammo load by 10 to get an initial idea of the sort of ammo load there should be - but then the designer will make decisions of his own.

So - simply doing a mechanical divide by 10 exercise on all vehicles would not really help much, though it might throw up any oddities that might need investigating. But for th reasons that X has Y load - you would need to query the original OOB designer(s) - and some are no longer active.
