I have been over most of the tutorials and cant seem to find it. What key allows me to select various ammo types in a tank?

Thanks in advance

1-3 in the number keys...

The number keys.  1, 2, and often 3.

Double press to change it without firing an already loaded round.

Keep in mind that pressing the number keys once will instruct your loader to load that shell type NEXT (after you fire your gun).
Press it twice and your loader will instantly load the new type of shell.

Best answer.

You can also change the order the rounds come in. In the garage when you are restocking your expendables you can click on the shell and then change the order.

thanks. You all saved me hours of video watching. Cheers

And this is the First game forum I have ever been on when I didnt get flamed for asking a simple question. Hats off.

More then likely you caught the forums at a time when most of the D-Bags are offline. But yeah, one thing to keep in mind, is that if you switch ammo types with a shell already loaded, is that he has to THAT shell out, to put the new one in. However, there is a perk that allows for faster switching, but it has to be at 100% for the loader to do it.

I love it when the community responds with maturity.   There's hope for us yet! (Actually, the newcomer's forum tends to be a forgiving and understanding place, especially if you're putting forth an active effort to learn)

Welcome to the game, and may your learning curve be gentle!

You are very lucky. Doesn't happen often here. You just so happened to be on when the helpfuls were on.

Good luck in tanks!

Yeah. This response was very refreshing to see. Raises my dwindling glimmer of hope a touch. Thanks. And to the OP, best to you as you learn! Have fun!

Been a great experience so far. Only one brush with stupidity. Was playing my Priest yesterday, got attacked by 2 of my own team and pushed into a lake by them. Other than that, wonderful.

Wow, never heard that one before. Good luck to you though.

To add to how to change rounds I was asked by a new player how to add rounds. He said he was trying to add gold rounds but wouldn't let him, I explained to him that he had full ammo racks. So I had him reduce his HE rounds by 5 and then he could add his 5 gold rounds.

I had to learn all this shit by trial and error. There must be a lot of other stuff I do not know about just because I refuse to read the manual. Some of it is simple though.

...and it only works 1 time out of 6, so ~83% of the time, you still have to wait for the new shell type.

I think you guys are wrong here. Or at least talking about different things.

I also searched long and hard for the answer to this simple question. Finally I decided to search the forum.

I revel in my noobishment!
