AI use Ammo

Ammo boxes honestly are in a controversial place in this game. They are rather niche because of the intense combat of this game that most see there is no point in them, who survives long enough to even use up all their ammo. Regardless I still think they are useful and I build them to support the team. You never know when you’ll need ammo.

I feel a culture of building ammo boxes to support the team should be reinforced.

I think one way to reinforce this mechanic is for your AI soldiers to consume ammo from their weapons. AI basically have an infinite amount of ammo. Only you the player actually consume ammo. Usually when you’re low on ammo you just switch to one of your AI

If AI consume ammo then ammo boxes become so much more important. All weapons would consume ammo. It doesn’t matter if you give your AI assault rifles, LMGs, SMGs, even the lowly bolt-action, they consume ammo. You and your AI have to worry about being fully supplied

I’m conflicted
On one hand, more immersion and it makes sense
On the other, I’m already screwed over when they have half a mag left and I switch to them. Even more so if they got half of their last mag left. Lol

I fully support encouraging people to build more ammo boxes (and rally points for gods sake).

However please dont add this, the game is hard enough as it is. After all, what would happen is everyone runs out of ammo quick since their AIs waste ammo and still no one builds ammo boxes so no one benefits.
