In this case a good infantry squad is more important than an IFV?

Kinda what I was getting at. The Israeli stance is that a good tank crew is more valuable than a good tank.

True enough. One good tank crew can train a dozen more.

What kind of ammo loads do we get with the vehicles and troops?

I knew I forgot something. Troops: 4 reloads plus one in weapon. Vehicle, I'm going through the IA books for a better idea.

Where does a Chimera store its fuel usually?

Fucked if I know, IA 1/2 has a cross section, I'll look and report back.

Well right now it's in the bow because I've got plenty of space there.

This thing has tons of internal volume. It's closer to being an AAV than a BMP.

From the diagram it appears to be on the right hand side, located under the turret, likely in the engine compartment.

...so they put the fuel tank directly under the explosive ammo. Are they trying to make sure these things explode?

To be fair the standard armament appears to be a multilaser, not much to explode.

Ok, after a bit of thought, ammo loadouts:

Battlecannon: 40 rounds
Heavy Bolter (hull, sponson): 400 rounds
Heavy Stubber: 400 rounds (10 box mags or 2 200 round belts)
Flamer (hull, sponson): 5 reloads (giving a total of 60 shots)

No one appears to be using meltas or plasma weapons and the inferno cannon is one big tank, so that should be everything.

Autocannon?

Aha! I knew I forgot something.

500.

Cool.

Are Autocannons belt fed or magazines?

Mag, 20 rounds.

Hmm, the usefulness of the pintle mount dropped.
