Selecting ammo type for AI tanks

[LachenKrieg]

Does anyone know how to select/set the ammo type for AI tanks so that it will only shoot that specific ammo?

Thats  probably not possible, only way to do is select the type of ammo in prefight screen.

Thats not exactly what you wanted but you can force the AI to use some typo of ammo I think.

Yes the bold text was my question, and yes it appears that it can be done. In the Vehicle advanced properties page, you can set the type of ammo using the weapon mods menu. You can also access the new steel wheel mod for the T34 here. But now that I have made this change,  the AI tanks are no longer shooting at me. I hope this will be part of the fix in the next update. But I think mission designers should also have control over what ammo is loaded in player tanks for the missions they design as well. If you hit the vehicles tab of an airfield properties page, you can edit any of the vehicles you selected to spawn into the multi-player mission. There is a space in the edit window to enter mods, skins and payload, but it doesn't seem to be working/implemented. I think a mission designer should be able to restrict things like tank skins and load out as a way of adding another layer of historical value and the level of challenge to the mission.
