The inventory system is in a terrible state overall IMO. Right now, you simply get X amount of space depending on the mercs strength stat but items seem to not factor in weight at all. For example, a rifle takes two slots but we know some rifles are heavier than others. So for example, you could carry say 3 M14's or 3 M60's and they are treated the same yet the M60 weighs about twice as much as an M14. So it's impossible to overburden your mercs strength with this system and no way to increase inventory space if you wanted to carry a bunch of lighter items as there are no backpacks or LBE available. Also, where's the face slot for NVG's, sunglasses, etc.
The way the inventory is done in JA3 is just very basic. I really hope they change it up to something more like JA2 1.13 where you can equip different size backpacks and factor in weight of items. Also, the shared ammo is really bizarre and a terrible design decision. Moving ammo around between mercs, reloading mags, etc, is a lot more realistic and fun then just having your mercs share a magic box of ammo.
The shared Ammo system is a great one, because spending time on switching them around all mercs within a suad is awefull.
For that reason the merc own inventory should be a little smaller.
A weight system would be great and a "sector inventory", too. Just to drop items and have easy access to all spotted and reachable loot.
Do not spend time in switching staff from one box to another. adjust it, modify it. store it.
