This strikes me as overly artificial. Why would anybody leave ammo at home when they head out?
Because of weight limitations maybe? If everyone is carrying specialist kit, then you are going to end up carrying less.
Well a rifleman will always carry his usual load. I played the Sniper last time and I had around 5 mags, but the rifle weights a ton. I just think that limiting ammo with no other reason than making it a necessity to call a supply drop is artificial; I can perfectly understand (and did so myself in missions) that ammo is tight for other reasons like you got caught returning from a mission, but that doesn't really fit in this setting.
Anyway, I am just stating my opinion
I agree, its more a choice of wording, i'm sure, a commanding officer wouldn't send his guys out knowing full well they will need an ammo drop, only because he doesnt want the pilot being bored, that wouldnt make sense.
Here is a section of the briefing that I think resolves this
"We have other squads taking care of situations around Altis, so we need to reserve our ammo among all squads, we have loaded you out with enough ammunition for your entire mission, however, should you encounter any unexpected forces or face any issues that causes you to require additional ammo, you can request a re-supply, we will load out a supply create for your transport pilot to fly in"
(maybe it could be a side task, if you use it you fail that task, so will be a last resort)
...Im thinking about a small secondary objective, for a second team to meet at HQ who need to be dropped off at a location. Will be a team of AI, no playable units. But I may add that in a future build.
ok, finally updated, along with all the amendments above, I have also added 8 sets of diving equipment to the two SDV's that are at HQ, and I have now adjusted the briefing to give more meaning to use risking our lives on this mission and mention about our ammo sitiuation... I may have also added one Game Of Thrones reference : S
