New types of SEAF Artillery Shells

[Sandyclawz]

Between the 3 levels of explosive shells (exp, hi-exp,nuke), napalm, static & smoke, do you think there's not enough variety?

For example given how rising in popularity the gas based weapons are (especially the orbital gas and gas grenades), I was thinking maybe it's time for new types of artillery shells like gas shells to add a bit of variety (while bringing back the different shaped shell heads instead of just different colors while we're at it?)

Or maybe buffing the napalm, static & smoke (especially smoke in general) a bit so they are not frowned upon discovery?

Maybe flak shells? Paint/Marking shells that would mark the target area for orbital assault? Would be good for last minute mop-ups when the strategems are down.

What are your thoughts?

I'm all for more shells, gas seems like a good option, but the only one that is really totally garbage is smoke (and the airstrike) imo. Static can actually be pretty useful in a pinch, but I get where you're coming from.

Perhaps a shell based on the WASP that shoots out like 20 homing missiles in an airburst (ala MIRV style)?

I think Smoke is supposed to be a joke shell. It's useless, but kind of funny in its own way and you don't have to load it, it's rare I am forced to put the last one in as a Smoke.

Airburst would be cool.
WASP style would be cool (technically an airburst too).
Gas would be awesome.
I've actually come to enjoy Static rounds.

What about a bomblet shell? Like the Airburst Cluster Launcher.

Airburst rounds
Gas rounds

Would be good
