[2025.1] Efficient Ammo Stowage

Description
Personally, I find the slots taken up in main storage by a historical amount of ammunition to be extremely limiting, so I have taught the crew to stow ammunition more efficiently. The crew should now be able to stack Large Caliber Ammunition up to 80 instead of 40 in the main storage area. If you, like me, want to carry more ammunition with fewer slots, still want your crew to have to move ammo between storage areas, don't want to add extra storage slots, and don't want to modify the deck-gun's storage capacity I guess this might work. Probably. Maybe.

General Information
It should be save compatible!
If you have trouble with the mod activating or deactivating please try emptying your Cache and Data Sheets folders located in C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\LocalLow\Deep Water Studio\UBOAT.

If you are nervous about this operation remember: it never hurts to keep a backup! This operation will force the game to re-calculate game AND mod data sheets and stored values. When uninstalling I do not know what will happen to any stacks of 80 shells you have in your inventory, but I suspect they will stay until you split them.

Technical Information
This is a simple edit of the Entities/Settings Data Sheet/Sub-Sheet that alters the stack limit for all Large Caliber Ammunition, but not caliber-specific ammunition, from 40 to 80. It will not be compatible with any other mod that changes those entries, for example any mod that overwrites the weight of Large Caliber Ammunition will probably conflict with this one. However, ammunition performance values like damage, velocity, and proximity detonation are stored on separate lines so they should be okay to change!

Let me know if you find any problems or if you even use this.

@Amergin Interesting. How did that mod change the storage capacity? I don't see how this could because it doesn't change anything except the stack limit for Large Ammunition. I guess I'll see when I get there or someone reports it using this mod.

It might work, but I do not recommend it because of some risks.
I changed the storage capacity by another mod once and it led to an issue at mission "gold retaking" (Italy, 1943)
The amounts of gold were decreased drastically (because of that mod) and I was unable to finish the mission (and the campaign) successfully.

@grei209ks I should also mention that if you would like the deck gun to store more shells you can check out Realistic Ammo Capacity which is different from this mod, but a very nice piece of work unless this morning's update broke it. I still have to make sure my setup works!

@grei209ks It should have an effect in the main storage area where food and other supplies are stored. I left the weight limit on the deck gun storage alone so that area should still only hold 30 shells.

I like requiring the crew to restock that area, and at one time I heard about the crew having to form a line bucket-brigade style to hand shells up the tower and feed the gun. No idea if that's true but I like the idea.

Hi.
I didn't quite understand in which slot (for storing shells) the amount of ammunition will be increased. In the storage room (where spare parts for repairs, first aid kits and provisions are stored) or directly in the ammunition storage (next to the deck gun)?
