I want to have Alien Grenade-tech rockets that can be installed in the basic rocket tanks. Can this be done? I tried just putting them in as I would have expected, I added the items and included them in the compatible ammo list, but I can't load them onto the craft with the new ammo. The game seems to think they must be loaded with the first ammo type on the list.

I don't think this is possible, but you could make manufacturing projects that convert the rocket tanks quickly to the better rockets and back.
Otherwise, using OXCE+ I've had success converting HWPs to a soldier type, making it easier to manage their ammunition.
-
Maybe at some point I should turn my HWPs into "soldiers" so they can be a chassis with gun-swapping capability, as well as more than one ammo type for some guns. For now I just added a new tank--I realized it actually makes sense because now there's 2 mid-game tanks to go with 2 early and 2 late.
That's some food for thought. Thanks!

Here's my mod for making HWP 'soldiers' (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5655.0.html), if you want to take a look.

You could mod the tank to carry two different types of weapons, HWP tractors does that as well as the mod I learned it from :

Thanks. Robin's Apocalypse mod also does the two tank weapons. I found that recently.
