Note that the range modifiers associated with these ammo types ''only'' apply to optimal range. When using autocannons—which have tiny optimal ranges but large falloff zones—the ammo's range modifier doesn't matter very much. (It is, however, very important when using artillery.) This means that '''autocannons should always be loaded with the most damaging ammo possible''' (taking into account the intended target's resist profile), without regard to optimal range bonuses or penalties. Furthermore, '''if a particular hull has a falloff bonus, it was probably designed to use autocannons''' rather than artillery.

If you can afford to, it's good to carry some faction ammo for PvP. However, for PvE, faction ammo is usually not cost-effective.

In contrast to Tech Ⅰ projectile ammunition, the Tech Ⅱ variants may each only be used with a specific type of projectile turret. There are two autocannon and two artillery charges. All four deal a combination of explosive and kinetic damage only. Tech Ⅱ projectile ammunition may only be loaded into a properly-sized Tech Ⅱ projectile turret of the appropriate type.

The two Tech 2 ammunition types for autocannon are Barrage and Hail. Barrage has a tracking penalty but a 40% falloff increase, and is popular with ships like the [[Vagabond]] which like to skirmish in falloff range. Hail has a penalty to falloff range and a large penalty to optimal range, and to tracking, but it deals very high damage. In practice the range and tracking speed drawbacks mean that Hail rarely offers more DPS, although it can be effective against big, stationary ships or POSs. Barrage does roughly equal amounts of explosive and kinetic damage, while Hail does a lot of explosive damage and a little kinetic on the side.

== Autocannon ==
The Tech Ⅱ ammunition types for autocannons are Barrage and Hail. Barrage has a tracking penalty but a falloff bonus, making it popular with ships like the [[Vagabond]], which like to skirmish in falloff range. Hail has penalties to optimal range, falloff range, and tracking, but, when it hits, it deals very high damage. In practice, the range and tracking drawbacks mean that Hail rarely offers more effective DPS, although it can be useful against large, stationary targets, such as [[Upwell structures|structures]]. Barrage does roughly equal amounts of explosive and kinetic damage, while Hail does mostly explosive damage, with a little kinetic on the side.


== Artillery ==
== Artillery ==


The two Tech 2 ammunition types for artillery are Quake and Tremor. Quake, much like Javelin for hybrids, lets artillery pretend to be autocannons, with high damage but much-reduced range. Tremor has a dramatic 80% range bonus, but a very significant penalty to tracking. Both do a mixture of explosive and kinetic damage.
