Nuclear Shells are Railgun ammunition. They can be loaded with items, most notably with explosives.
Description
Nuclear shells are high-risk high-damage projectiles mainly used to fight the biggest enemies. Their explosion range isn't huge, but they currently have the highest alpha damage of all ammunition. What makes them highly dangerous is their 30-meter EMP range, which can burn out the whole electrical grid of the shooting submarine, unless the gunner is extra careful. Contrary to griefers' believes, this effect is best used on enemy submarines.
Nuclear shells can be cost-efficient if the crew are low on Steel but have an excess of IC-4 Block components and Uranium.
