BV Calculated incorrectly for ammo criticals found in arms.

v.0.7.4

Possible bug: BV for ammunition found in the arms is being calculated incorrectly for Clan 'Mechs with Spheroid XL engines.

When attempting to build the Conjurer 8 (from RecGuide 5) it was noticed that the Explosive Ammunition Penalty was -45 BV (for three criticals of ammo) instead of -75 BV (for the five criticals of ammo that is has).

Errata listed here: https://bg.battletech.com/forums/techmanual/answered-mixed-tech-xl-engines-and-bv/ states that "15 points (should be subtracted) per critical space of explosive ammo in any location (’Mech with an Inner Sphere XL engine)"

As the Conjurer 8 is a 'Mech with an IS XL engine, its Explosive Ammunition Penalty should be -75 BV, as there are no exceptions for ammunition being stored in CASE-protected arms.

I noticed the same problem with XXL engines, but did not test them in-depth.

We need to check and see if that errata is going to be pushed through as actual errata, it changes things if so, though not sure how in depth it is.

The Clan XXL engine bit, I'm going to have to check as well. Its possible we're doing it wrong, though not sure how that would've been messed up to that point. May have to check the errata over time.

I'd seek clarification. The CASE in the arm would prevent the torso from being damaged and thus also the engine destruction. It's possible the one line got changed before officially being entered into Errata.

After further discussion with mordel, if appears that MML is currently doing things correctly.
I agree with WEKarnesky, though, that clarification via a rules question could at least clear up the language and make things a bit more unambiguous.

@AlphaSled @Maelwys can we safely close this until further information is found?
