To many gunners for aerospace (small craft, dropships, jumpships) due to AMS

[NexiraElimus]

Prerequisites and Pre-Issue Checklist

• I'm reporting the issue to the correct repository:

• MegaMek

• MegaMekLab

• MekHQ

• I've tested the issue against at least the latest MILESTONE version

• I've asked on the MegaMek Discord about the error

• I've reviewed the BattleTech rules and MekHQ documentation, and I've confirmed that something isn't working as intended.

• I've searched the Github tracker and haven't found the issue listed

Severity *

Medium (Gameplay Limitation): Non-core functionality is impaired, providing a suboptimal but playable experience.

Brief Description *

Per the rules AMS arent supposed to need gunners. Megameklab shows the correct number of gunners needed by a craft, however in Megamekhq the game requires gunners as though it needed gunners for AMS's as they dont need gunnery skill (tac ops 132, and more specifically on 255 TO it very specifically says not for AMS's.)

"gunners are required only for any item that requires a Gunnery Skill roll
to use in combat, and which has a range of more than 1 hex.
(Automatic defensive armaments like Anti-Missile Systems,
A-Pods, and the like require no gunners, nor do non-weapon
items listed on the Heavy Weapons and Equipment Tables, like
Active Probes and ECM gear.)"

255-TO

Steps to Reproduce

easily reproducable by

1: open megameklab andadd 2 normal guns like er large lasers, and 6 laser AMSs to a small craft. Mekameklab will only require 1 gunner correctly.

2: then in mekhq us gm mode to add the craft and minimum crew and see that its added 2 gunners. It is possible equipment other than AMS is also requiring crew as it shouldnt, but i have not encountered that yet.

Operating System *

Windows 11

Java Version *

Java Version: 17.0.12

MekHQ Suite Version *

I believe we pull this data from mml, so shifted this to the mml repo

It was specified in the issue description that the information shows up correctly in MML but not MHQ. Also, crew requirements are defined in MM.

In general, construction rules are implemented in MM, not MML.

Ah, that's my bad, my eyes must have jumped that line! D:

And back to MekHQ it goes
