Heavy arms ammunition is used by ballistic weapon bays, ballistic weapon turrets and vehicles.

Use

Heavy arms ammunition units are consumed when loaded into a turret or vehicle, giving it a set number of rounds. When fired from a weapon bay the heavy arms ammunition units are consumed directly, amount depending on the size of the weapon.

• They are loaded into a vehicle or ballistic weapon turret.
  • This is done using the Ordnance menu.
  • If the ordnance is changed, any remaining rounds in the weapon is lost.
• A ballistic weapon bay uses the heavy arms ammunition directly from the spacecraft's hold or city's inventory.
  • A ballistic weapon bay needs (Round(Weapon System units/25)+1) heavy arms ammunition to fire one shot at full power.

See the Ammunition page for more information.
