Reload

Flag:	Reload
File(s):	rules(md).ini
Values:	Unsigned integers: All non-negative whole numbers from 0 to either 32767, 2147483647 or 4294967295.
Default:	0
Applicable to:	TechnoTypes: AircraftTypes, BuildingTypes, InfantryTypes and VehicleTypes

This flag specifies the base delay in frames between automatic¹ reloading of each round of ammunition for units with Ammo set to a positive integer.

In Tiberian Sun

Logic related to Reload, as a whole or in part, is obsolete in Tiberian Sun.

Though Reload appears in rules.ini, it does not exist in the game executable, therefore the flag is never parsed. Instead, the game has a hardcoded reload rate of 450 frames.

In Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge

By setting EmptyReload to an integer other than Reload or −1, this delay can be modified for reloading the first round of ammunition when the unit is empty.

On units that have PipWrap set to a positive integer greater than 0, ReloadIncrement can be used to speed up or slow down the rate at which they reload.
