Additional Ammo

How does one add additional ammo to a weapon installed on a battlesuit? All of the obvious methods come up blank …

Buy the ammo on the equipment tab. Not all weapons have an ammo even if it seems like they should.

In the assign crits and the ammo, then right click on the ammo and set the number of shots.

Hmmm...

I think I know what Hammer's trying to instruct but I too am having trouble assigning additional ammo for Battlesuits.

I can do it for Small Support Vehicles but not Battlesuits.

Hmmm, using 48.0 I can set ammo for missile weapons, but there doesn't seem to be a way to add extra ammunition for weapons which don't normally track it e.g. recoilless rifles.
Think about it.  It's what we do.
