This flag determines the ammunition supply of a [[TechnoTypes|unit]], with {{f|Ammo|link}} set to a positive integer greater than 0, when it is created from the corresponding {{f|Factory|link}}. Values for {{f|InitialAmmo|link}} other than &minus;1, which is a special case[[#Special values|{{sup|{{arr|d}}}}]], result in a starting ammo supply of that number plus 1.

Although usable ammo points are only measured in positive integers, it is possible to have a unit's current ammo be a negative number when it is created. If {{f|InitialAmmo}} is set to a negative integer less than &minus;1, the unit will be created with no usable ammunition, and have an inversely proportional delay before it reloads enough to have a positive ammo supply.

If {{f|InitialAmmo}} is set to a value greater than {{f|Ammo}}, then the unit will be created with its current ammo equal to {{f|InitialAmmo}}. However, if the unit has {{f|PipScale#Ammo|ammo|link}}, the pip display will innacurately represent an amount equal to {{f|Ammo}} until the unit depletes enough rounds so that its current ammo is no more than {{f|Ammo}}.

Regardless, a unit can never reload its ammo by any means to an amount greater than {{f|Ammo}}, nor deplete its ammo to an amount less than 0.

==Special values==
* {{f|InitialAmmo|-1}} results in the unit starting with full ammo. This is also the default behavior.

{{Bugs}}
*If an AircraftType starts without full ammo, it will be unable to reload it until it leaves its docking building and lands on it again.
