{\setalignment justified}{\setheight 0.03}{\setcolor 372f43}{\setspacing -0.04}THE BASIC TYPES OF AMMUNITION ARE:

{\setcolor AA0000}AP{\setcolor 372f43} = Armor piercing: most effective against armored vehicles (tanks and armored vehicles). AP shells don't have an explosive charge.  

{\setcolor AA0000}HE{\setcolor 372f43} = High explosive: most effective against installations and open targets (it can be used against vehicles but it is tot very effective against tanks with thicker armor).

{\setcolor AA0000}PH{\setcolor 372f43} = Phosphorous shell (incendiary): effective against most targets although the desired effects may not be immediate. i.e.: tanks and buildings may burn, but not be entirely destroyed. 

{\setcolor AA0000}HVAP{\setcolor 372f43} = High velocity armor piercing shell:  this most rare type of ammunition simply increases the effective range and effectiveness of the standard AP. Better penetration of thicker armor at longer distances. This type of ammunition can become a "life saver" when confronted with superior German tanks such as Panthers and Tigers. This type of specialized ammunition was not nor will be as readily available as the rest and must be used sparingly.
