Choose for the job in front of you
Start with the target requirement shown by the current mission. Then compare the available shell description, expected effect, and the cost of a failed shot. The right choice is contextual rather than a universal tier list.
- Read the mission requirement before loading the shell.
- Confirm that the selected shell is available and has not been changed by a recent update.
- Prefer a documented choice over a remembered choice from a different operation.
- Record the shell beside the range and elevation so a miss has a useful explanation.
Why this is a framework, not an ammo table
A static table copied from a wiki can become wrong without showing why. This page keeps the decision path visible and links to the current public ammunition reference for the names and descriptions that need verification.
FIELD NOTE
No damage values or hidden multipliers are asserted here without a dated, first-party or directly tested source.
Verification note
Before publishing a hard recommendation, test the shell against the relevant target in the current build and record the mission, patch date, and observed result.
