| — In-game description |
75mm is a large Shell used by large cannons and useful against both structures and vehicles.
Description
It travels instantly and in a straight line.
It explodes on contact or if it reaches the maximum range of the cannon firing it.
By default its explosion deals 1750 Explosive damage in a 2.5m radius and decreasing amounts in a 5m radius.
It's very effective against most structures but much less against very resistant ones.
It is effective against armored vehicles, however it needs to penetrate the armor in order to deal its damage. It has a 50% bonus to its base penetration chance. It can disable their subsystems.
It is very expensive and thus not cost-effective to use against infantry.
As a Large Item, the player can only carry one in their large item slot, occupying their hands. It is automatically dropped if the player draws a weapon or equipment.
Its weight is reduced by 33.3% when wearing a Heavy Ammo Uniform.

Production
| Structure | Input(s) | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
 Ammunition Factory (Large Shell Factory) | 2 x Construction Materials  8 x Heavy Explosive Powder  4 MW of power  | 1 x 75mm  | 00:01:00 |
75mm in personal orders can be retrieved as reservable crates from a logistics vehicle with RMB > "Retrieve as crate" (1 per crate).
Storage
It does not stack in inventories (1 per slot) except in ammo slots dedicated to it in certain vehicle or structure inventories (varying stack sizes).
It can be stored in stockpiles of Bases (32k max) but also in Material Pallets (60), Rooster - Tumblebox Trailer (20), Material Transfer Stations (1000), Small Flatbed Car (50) or Storage Rooms (100).
Crates of 75mm can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content.The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots, but is most commonly transported by Trucks, Small Flatbed Car, or shipping vehicles carrying Material Pallets. Delivering it in crate form is possible but extremely inefficient.
Trivia
Prior to their reintroduction in Update 1.50, 75mm ammunition used to be a regular item, similar to 40mm and 68mm ammunition, and was not a Large Item.
