As a tactical simulation artillery is modelled in the sim and player can call in various types of artillery, from conventional smoke and high-explosive rounds, to DPICM and the FASCAM minefield system.

A Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions ( DPICM ) is an artillery or surface-to-surface missile warhead designed to burst into sub-munitions at an optimum altitude and distance from the desired target for dense area coverage.

Upgrades to the cannon, ammunition, fire control, survivability, and other electronics systems over the design's lifespan have expanded the system's capabilities, including tactical nuclear projectiles, Cannon Launched Guided Projectiles ( CLGP or Copperhead ), Rocket Assisted Projectile ( RAP ), FAmily of SCAtterable Mines ( FASCAM ), and improved conventional munitions ( the Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munition, DPICM ).

For US artillery ammunition these projectiles are called Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munition ( DPICM ), a 155 mm M864 DPICM projectile for example contains a total of 72 shaped charge fragmentation bomblets.

* M26 ( United States ): Rocket with 644 M77 Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions ( DPICM ) submunitions, range of 32 km.

Development work for DPICM projectiles began in the late 1950s, with the first projectile, the 105 mm M444 entering service in 1961, though the submunitions were simple bounding anti-personnel grenades ( ICM ).

* Base Ejection: dual purpose improved conventional munitions ( DPICM )- bomblet, scatterable mines, illuminating, coloured flare, smoke, incendiary, propaganda, chaff ( foil to jam radars: originally known as " window ") and modern exotics such as electronic payloads and sensor-fuzed munitions.

After Kursk, the 152 mm BR-540 solid-core AP round was produced in small numbers and issued to heavy tank destroyer battalions in an effort to introduce a penetrating projectile, but the gun's inherent low velocity made the AP round no more accurate and only moderately more effective than the standard HE round ( which could also be used against infantry ).
