Anti-aircraft shell

Anti-aircraft shell describes a change of ammunition: “The unit replaces its shells with anti-aircraft ones, allowing it to fire into the air and deal increased damage to infantry.” Demo build 23882143 records a 1-second cooldown. That timing belongs to the ability, not the firing cycle of the carrier’s weapon. The description establishes an air-targeting role and increased infantry damage, but it does not quantify the increase or promise a particular result against vehicles. The direct component lookup found no carrier implementation for this entry; that is a limit of the inspected link, not proof that no relevant weapon data exists elsewhere in the raw extraction.

The word “replaces” in the description of demo build 23882143 identifies a shell change. It does not establish that every other weapon on the unit stops working or that the choice has the same transformation rules as Artillery position. Deployment abilities and equipment modules also have their own records and conditions. Similar wording about changing a unit is insufficient to merge their mechanics. For this entry, the official ammunition description is the firm link; a specific carrier, damage trade and activation sequence require further source evidence.

The description gives anti-aircraft shells an infantry role as well as an air role. AK-30 has a similar pairing in its own description, but that does not make the turret the verified carrier of this ability. AK-30 costs 130 minerals and has 600 base hit points with 25 armour; these are platform values, not a quantified ammunition bonus. Consider the shell choice when aircraft or infantry are relevant targets, while checking the unit actually using it. Do not infer a vehicle-damage penalty or a guaranteed favourable swap from the stated role alone.

The recorded cooldown is 1 second, but it does not establish the duration of the ammunition state or guarantee that the swap is reversible at will. Gorb Tank has 110 front armour; that value does not prove immunity to the changed shells. The official description promises air targeting and increased infantry damage without quantifying vehicle performance. Assess the carrier’s actual weapons, facing and support before choosing armour as a response. A role description is useful for identifying a threat, but it is not a complete counter chart or a guaranteed safe matchup.
