I was playing AB Naval the other day and my secondary guns stopped working and I noticed orange shell symbols although I still had plenty of shells in storage. What does this mean? The guns were functional but it didn’t allow me to shoot. Does this mean that they blew up my magazines or something? But in this case I would expect them to be shown in red or my ammo count on zero.
I don’t find this very intuitive.
Thanks
blew up the ammo and the damage was put out however said guns are left with 0 amm
Similar to getting shot in the ammorack in top tier tanks but the blowout panel puts out the fire
Loses the ammo but guns are operational
Which ship is that? Many ships have different ammo storages, especially for the Aux guns. And if you were only firing from the Aux guns on that side, they can run out of their individual storages. But still show ammo overall on the main bar. The other side of your ship’s Aux guns might still have had ammo.
Or if your ammo got hit too (happened to me in the Yamashiro the ammo detonated but ship recovered and guns had no ammo)
Ran out of ammo - I’ve been getting that more often now I’m taking partial ammunition loads
If your ammo blows up the icon is red.

Yeah, looks like most of the Aux ammo is isolated to each Aux turret individually. There are some random ones in the middle, but I cant quite tell if those are for the AA’s, or maybe if they are shared between port and starboard sides.
So, either fire burning them all up, or shooting from one side most of the match, that might be what happened?
In this case i have the secondary deck guns selected but what is confusing is that it shows 348 shells and not 0 if they were blown up. Maybe it’s the way the game is designed but still confusing.
Hrmmm, I do not have it unlocked, so can’t do more testing myself. But, did you take in max ammo for those guns? If not, I’ve noticed on SOME botes that even from spawn, some guns will not have full ammo if I don’t fill them up, especially secondary guns. THEN, I saw in the patch notes that taking less ammo now SHOULD lower the displayed ammo in the damage model/xray view in game. BUT, I have tested it on a couple ships, and it is still showing the old behavior (reducing ammo on most ships does nothing to the damage model, nor reduces them as you fire them.)
So, idk if it is a bug or whats going on 🤷♂️ And even if it is a bug, I can think of at least 3 ways it might be bugging out. IF your shells were not destroyed, or used up by shooting.
I never take full ammo. But then it must be a bug I suppose.
Each gun has its own store of ammo. So you probably ran out of ammo for those guns on that side of the ship. The shown ammo is the total accross all 6 guns. Checking Bismark specifically. It has an ammo store for each secondary gun
These may have been hit and destroyed or may have simply run out of ammo
Ok this makes sense to me now! Thanks.
