Still testing and tweaking, but some important changes are coming which should both increase the importance of the bigger guns, and make shell shortages more prevalent (at least in early game).
On a related point, could the tooltip for the amount of ammunition you have in total (at the top of the page) be improved? It would be really helpful if it displayed how the amount has changed from the previous turn (i.e. listing production, combat usage, etc.), so we can better plan whether and when we'll need to expand munitions production.
