Losing ammo due to quality, add notification and/or change it (Little Upsilon)

W3C: Could you add a notification for when ammo is lost due to quality? A lot more helpful than seeing chunks just disappear.

However, I think a much BETTER idea, would be to change your proposal, since it seems you are planning to move forward with adding quality factors into the war engine...

Have ammo deteriorate to 100Q should be effect enough, especially when it faces 250Q weapons. There is no need for the ammo to be scrapped altogether.

Also, there should be a way to upgrade and maintain our ammo quality. The maintaining can be an optional cost for "ammo maintenance" which, if selected, will prevent ammo from going bad, at a price.

I haven't seen chunks of ammunition disappear.

Ammunition disappears when supply units take it to garrisons. There is also a monthly usage.

HI,



Ammunition will not be scrapped.



When we introduce weapon and ammunition upgrading programs, there will be a way to upgrade weapons and ammunition and to maintain current levels.

If you do not upgrade or maintain, quality will gradually decline and the weapons and ammunitions may become less useful.

@Pathetic Sheep:

The GMs made it sound like ammo would be scrapped if the quality deteriorated enough. I'm fully aware of where ammunition goes.

It could be worse. They could introduce friendly fire casualties, premature detonations, and backfires. Quality 25 weapons would be dangerous.
