Thank you Alfred. That kind of explains it! Are the supposed to be non airliftable? They are actually not very big.

Anyone have a workaround for situations like this? Anyway I can make the 3 40mm disappear from the TOE?

Joc,

Are you saying the size rating on the 40 MM (11) is too large?

Description
WARD'S DROME, PORT MORESBY, NEW GUINEA. 1942-08. IN THEIR SUCCESSFUL ATTACK ON NADZAB THE 7TH AUSTRALIAN DIVISION BECAME THE FIRST AUSTRALIAN DIVISION TO BECOME AIRBORNE. FOR DAYS BEFORE THIS DARING AIRBORNE ADVENTURE, THE TROOPS OF THE DIVISION TRAINED HARD IN BECOMING EFFICIENT IN DISMANTLING THEIR GUNS, EQUIPMENT AND GEAR FOR LOADING IN, AND UNLOADING FROM, TRANSPORT PLANES. TWO HULKS OF DOUGLAS C47 DAKOTA AIRCRAFT WERE USED FOR PRACTICE AND THE AIM WAS TO LOAD THE PLANE IN FIFTEEN MINUTES. THIS PICTURE SHOWS A DISMANTLED 40MM BOFORS GUN IN A TRUCK READY TO BE BACKED AGAINST THE DOOR OF THE AIRCRAFT.
