Because it's game CC is 255 indicating it can carry troops , guns and vehicles

if it was guns only it could be 192 and it would carry 92 troops and guns/mortars but to give it it's capability to carry vehicles it runs into the do not exceeed game number of 255 becasue that's the highest number the game will accept in that field and changing that would screw up every save game and sceanrio ever built.
There are some c-130's in the game with 164 capacity in nations that would not load a vehicle

Scenario designers can change that to 092 if they like but for the general OOB 255 is the largest number that can be used with vehicle carry capacity
