See "additional information" for exact numbers.
Trucks can contain significantly less weapons and items/magazines than they could in Arma 2 (50 weapons/200 magazines then). It seems their values were copy-pasted from most other vehicles, as they all share the same.
This might require an extensive re balancing throughout all vehicles but for the purpose of this ticket I suggest increasing the cargo hold for all trucks to A2 values or similar.
Open any config browser and look for the values
transportMaxBackpacks
transportMaxMagazines
transportMaxWeapons
for e.g. I_Truck_02_transport_F or any major faction's truck.
These are the "cargo hold" values for all faction's trucks, as well as most other vehicles (such as quadbikes):
transportMaxBackpacks = 0;
transportMaxMagazines = 50;
transportMaxWeapons = 10;
These are the values for the Ifrit and the Hunter:
transportMaxBackpacks = 5;
transportMaxMagazines = 90;
transportMaxWeapons = 10;
Strider is identical apart from only taking 2 backpacks max.
Hello,
the values have been changed and you will be able to see the changes in Steam Dev within few days.
New values for trucks:
transportMaxBackpacks = 8;
transportMaxMagazines = 200;
transportMaxWeapons = 50;
Thank you.
I really don't know what purpose did this serve in the end, except being a placebo. The number of weapons/magazines/items a vehicle can hold is not defined by the "transportMax" values, but rather "maximumLoad". If maximumLoad is not defined, then the vehicle can hold a total item mass of 1000.
This is really stupid, because trucks have a maximumLoad of 1000, while crates have 2000. The large airdrop supply crates have exactly the same maximumLoad as the smallest ammobox, which is 2000.
Here are my thoughts:
For reference, an empty Assault Pack has a mass of 20, and a First Aid Kit has a mass of 8.
I think the "transportMax" values are only kept in for backward compatibility, but Arma 3's mass-based inventory system does not seem to use them at all.
@AgentRev,
thank you for the opinions. This ticket is about bug which was present and solved, your input is more of a feature request. Could you please create new ticket (feature request) with your proposals? I will link it with this one.
Thank you.
