Basic run down on ammo,
HE - High Explosive - Best used on un armored targets, carries the biggest amount of explosive and explodes on contact. Best to aim at the water line of any ship for the best results
AP - Armor Pericing - More effective againds targets that have armor plate (warships) than HE, Explodes after contact, so it can get through the armor, but has less explosive than HE, due to the thicker case it needs to penatrate armor.
SS - Star Shell - Used for iluminating tagerts at night. Best fired at a hight gun angle to give better light to the target. Can be used for attacking ships, but has very little power compared to HE or AP
AA - Anti-Aircraft - A round designed to cause maximum damage to aircraft. Tend to be only used on smaller guns (20mm, 37mm) The 88mm and 105 mm deck gun were not considered to be AA guns and were rarely used in that role.
