Is there any way to limit the number of anti-ship missile reloads for helicopters on ships? Being able to use a helo to launch an endless supply of anti-ship missiles after you've expended all of your ship launched ASMs sorta runs afoul of realism.
I can't see more than a dozen Sea Skua or Penguins being carried on a Destroyer or Frigate even in time of war.
Are there any sources that give an approximate number of these missiles generally carried aboard a destroyer, cruiser or frigate?
For that matter it would be interesting to know how many harpoons for instance are generally carried aboard a CVN for anti-ship duties. As of right now I bet there aren't a dozen or two on each carrier in the USN.
It would really add to realism if one could limit carriers and ship board helos to a finite weapon load.
