Shell-family uses come from player reports. No current-build inventory or damage table has been reproduced here.

The Steam store advertises 30 unlockable ammunition types. Community inventories written around launch describe a smaller set and sometimes include names from the older demo. The two counts have not been reconciled with a versioned current-build inventory.

That makes shell families more useful than a copied list of exact damage numbers.

Choose by target type

Shell familyPlayer-reported use
HE and HCHArea damage against infantry and other soft targets
APPrecise attacks on supply depots, fire direction centres, and targets near friendly units

Area-effect ammunition can also threaten friendly units inside the blast. AP is the safer reported choice when the target needs precision.

These uses come from player reports. The developer has not published a complete shell manual with damage and blast values.

Claims that still need a current-build test

Some community guides describe an atomic shell called ATMC as the largest blast option. Others list a different total inventory or powder charge limit. Those reports are useful leads and do not yet form a reliable current-build table.

An older community inventory also warns that PYRO, TGAS, and PGAS belong to the demo list. That is another reason to attach every exact shell list to a build and date.

Pick the round before loading

  1. Identify whether the target needs area damage or precision.
  2. Check for friendly units near the impact area.
  3. Choose the shell and powder charges before using the dispenser.
  4. Recalculate elevation whenever the charge count changes.
  5. Read the result from the current interface instead of borrowing an old damage table.

The loading guide covers the irreversible steps after ammunition leaves the dispenser. The target guide keeps the current target families in one place.

The advertised total comes from Steam. Shell families and special-ammunition claims remain community guidance until a versioned inventory is reproduced.
