Field notes

Confirmed and pending

HEGeneral destructive shell for common targets.
HCHELarger destructive effect than standard HE in collected guide data.
APArmor-piercing role for armored or hardened targets.
S.T.A.RIllumination shell for lighting/recon-style use.
SMOKEDeveloper Nick says smoke shells reposition allied non-fortification units toward the smoke center.
PHOSGENECurrent public ammo guide lists Phosgene with cost TBA and anti-infantry / civil-unrest / unarmored use.
TEAR GASCurrent public ammo guide lists Tear Gas with cost TBA and says it is currently not used in missions.

Do not publish a full permanent cost table without a build-date check. The keyword 'iron nest smk shell' is handled here as Smoke/SMOKE shell; UI naming can still shift by patch.
