| — In-game description |
250mm is a large Shell used by large mortar cannons that is extremely powerful against structures, especially strong ones.
Uses
Specifications
It has travel time and follows an indirect curved trajectory much like a Grenade. However its trajectory is not shown by a white line when aiming the cannon firing it. It is fired similarly to a handheld mortar by selecting a range. Its range is between 6 and 25 meters.
It explodes on contact or automatically after 1.75 seconds if it's still in the air.
By default its explosion deals 1000 Demolition damage in a 2.5m radius and decreasing amounts in a 5m radius.
It's extremely effective against all structures, especially very resistant ones such as concrete structures
Its damage against armored vehicles is mediocre and its aim system makes it difficult to hit moving targets.
It is too expensive to use against infantry or unarmored vehicles.
Users
The following infantry weapons, vehicles, and structures use 250mm:

Storage
250mm does not stack in inventories (1 per slot) except in ammo slots dedicated to 250mm in certain vehicle or structure inventories (varying stack sizes).
It is a Large Item, a soldier can only carry one at a time on their shoulder.
It can be stored in Base stockpiles but also in Material Pallets, Rooster - Tumblebox Trailer, Material Transfer Stations, or Storage Rooms.
250mm crates can be stored in the stockpile of a Storage Depot, Seaport, or Storage Ship. Crates can be submitted to a Base to transfer their content inside into the stockpile.
Trivia
- Prior to Update 1.50 ('Inferno'), the 250mm shell was a regular, single stack item. This was later changed to it becoming a Large Item, increasing its logistical requirements, but allowed more flexibility when it came to its transportation by being able to be moved via Material Pallets
