[hellrazor]

Well i am kinda in the dark how to solve this.
I already created a Hovertank given him manufacture Topic Unit and item set (same as Hovertank plasma)
The Ammo i wanna use are Elerium Bombs, which is a ammo for the Small Launcher.
I can do this but the clipsize is frozen to 1, even if i say otherwise in the tnak item definitions, anyone care to help enlighten my?

Problem is it seems like its get its Clipsize not from the tank but from the Elerium Bomb. Someone know how to make this work properlys?

I'd say that the issue is with you using the Elerium Bombs as ammo: the definitions for Elerium Bomb as ammo for the HWP are being overwritten by the definitions of the bomb as ammo for the Small Launcher. You're basically defining the same item twice in the same ruleset and the last definition is the one that is used. To solve this you'll need to create specific Elerium Bomb ammo for the HWP.

Jeah i figured that much, but it is kinda dumb, because i wanted to let the tank use the normal elerium bombs.
