Munition:250mm-rpf
In Game Description
High-explosive rounds utilized by light cannon weapons, such as the Mk6X series. Effective on light or medium type warships. This round features a special Radio Proximity Fuze which will detonate the shell if it detects an object in its path, greatly increasing its effectiveness against fast, maneuvering, small targets like corvettes and frigates.
These rounds can also be used for defensive purposes such as shooting down incoming missiles. Note that the proximity fuze does not discriminate between targets, and can destroy outbound friendly missiles if not used judiciously.
In Game Performance
Effective as a first contact round against Tugs and Shuttles. Once a target under fire has ceased to move effectively, swap to HE to finish, or continue firing if time is available to attempt a K-Kill via killing all DC teams.[1]
