	If an InfantryType is inside a ~~VehicleType with '~~Gunner=yes~~' set~~, then the name of the VehicleType will change depending on several rules. Given that there is only one VehicleType in the game with 'Gunner=yes' set, we will assume that we are working with the VehicleType known as the "IFV".		If set, this InfantryType will display its {{TTL\|UIName}} when inside a {{TTL\|Gunner\|yes}} unit, instead of the generic "Machinegun IFV", "Repair IFV" labels. For more information, see [[Transforming Tooltips]].
	~~If your VehicleType is not called "IFV", then substitute the string "IFV" in the following examples with the 'UIName=' of your VehicleType.~~


	~~IFV with no passenger is called "IFV"~~


	~~IFV whose passenger has 'UseOwnName=true' set is called "<passenger> IFV" (where <passenger> is the 'UIName='~~ of the ~~passenger).~~


	~~If the passenger has 'UseOwnName=false' set (default) then the following rules apply:~~
	*A) If the passenger's IFVMode weapon turret is turret index 0, then the IFV will be called "~~Rocket~~ IFV"
	*B) If the passenger's IFVMode weapon turret is turret index 1, ~~then the IFV will be called "Machine Gun IFV"~~
	*C) If the passenger's IFVMode weapon turret is turret index 2, then the IFV will be called "Repair IFV"
	*D) If the passenger's IFVMode weapon turret is turret index 3 (or higher), then the IFV will be called "<passenger> IFV" (where <passenger> is the 'UIName=' of the passenger).

	~~Note: Higher than 3 has not actually been confirmed. If someone tests this then please ammend this page~~.




	~~Inconsistencies in Yuri's Revenge:~~

	~~In Yuri's Revenge~~, ~~there are some inconsistencies with the use of 'UseOwnName='~~
	*IFVMode 2 (machine gun A, turret 1) is used by GI, Conscript and Spy. ~~"Machine Gun IFV"~~
	*IFVMode 4 (machine gun B, turret 1) is used by SEAL, Tanya, Boris. "<passenger> IFV"
	*IFVMode 4 (machine gun B, turret 1) is used by Chrono Commando, Psi Commando. "Machine Gun IFV"

	~~Chrono Commando and Psi Commando do not have 'UseOwnName=true' set. I believe they should.~~

	*IFVMode 3 (flak weapon, turret 1) is used by Flak Trooper. "Machine Gun IFV"
	~~I believe that the Flak Trooper should also have 'UseOwnName=true' set.~~

	~~Both of the above inconsistencies are dealt with in the YR Unofficial 1.002 Mini-Patch.~~




	~~VehicleTypes as IFV passengers:~~

	~~The IFV naming system does not work with VehicleTypes.~~
	~~Whilst VehicleTypes can transform the IFV's turret and weapon, the IFV's tooltip will remain as "Rocket IFV".~~

	~~Before you waste your time, I'll tell you now that you can't solve the problem by rearranging turrets or modifying the string table (leastways, I have tried for several hours without success).~~




	~~Some people have asked what the string table entries are for the tooltips. Since it's kind of related to this I'll tell you:~~

	~~tip:machinegun="Machine Gun" (as in "Machine Gun IFV")~~

	~~tip:repair="Repair" (as in "Repair IFV")~~

	~~tip:rocket="Rocket" (as in "Rocket IFV")~~

	~~name:fv="IFV" (appended to all tooltips - note: this may be a hardcoded reference, or it may be a reference to the IFVs UIName= entry, I haven't tested it.)~~


	~~All other tooltips are built using the units' UIName= entry.~~
