The loading route and one-way ammunition rule come from player reports and lack an official manual.
Finish the firing card before loading either gun. Once a shell is rammed or powder leaves the dispenser, player reports say it cannot be returned. A small error made at the calculator is still recoverable. The same error after loading can cost the whole shot.
Load one gun from its own card
- Read the full card. Confirm bearing, distance, shell, powder charges, and elevation.
- Dispense the shell. Match the shell name on the card.
- Dispense the powder. Take the exact number of charges used by the calculation.
- Ram the shell. Player reports treat this as irreversible.
- Insert the powder charges. Reports also say dispensed charges cannot be returned.
- Set bearing and elevation. Compare the gun with the card one last time before arming.
Community accounts describe a limited rotary magazine, often reported as six rounds. Treat that number as build-sensitive until it is reproduced on the current release.
Why the charge count matters
Changing the powder changes the firing solution. Players report that more powder gives a lower elevation and shorter flight time. If the charge count changes after the calculation, recalculate the elevation as well.
Do not load something close and plan to correct it at the gun. The ammunition choice and the calculation belong together.
Common loading errors
Loading before the calculation is complete. The shell and charge combination becomes difficult or impossible to undo.
Reading the right card at the wrong gun. Keep a separate card for each barrel when the guns are prepared for different shots.
Changing powder without changing elevation. The gun no longer matches the calculated solution.
Ignoring magazine stock. Running out during a timed mission forces attention away from the map and firing sequence.
Left and right guns
No official source was found that restricts a shell family to one side. Plan each gun separately and keep its bearing, elevation, shell, and charges on the same card.
