 While the armour-piercing round and the the incendiary tracer round deal about the same amount of the damage, the standard tracer round deals incredibly little damage to both surface targets and aircraft. Because of this, the AP belt is a strict upgrade from the default belt. Compared to the AP rounds, the IT rounds also have a much higher muzzle velocity. Altogether, this makes the API belt the best overall, due both to its lack of standard tracer rounds and better ballistic properties.

 Fairmile A (ML100) can be hull-broken by any round with a large enough diameter and explosive mass. In general, this is limited to HE rounds greater with a diameter greater than or equal to 4 inches (102 mm) with an explosive mass greater than 1.5 kg. At Fairmile A (ML100)'s own battle rating, there is only one gun capable of hull-breaking her:

 There are two ammunition storages: the first, holding the ammunition for the secondary armament, is located in the bow below the fore twin 7.72 mm Lewis 1916 machine gun mount. The other ammunition storage, holding the ammunition for the primary armament, is located in the stern on the port side, below and behind the aft 3 pdr QF Hotchkiss cannon. Both ammunition storages are located just above the waterline and destroying either will instantly destroy the boat.

-The secondary armament consists of six 7.72 mm Lewis 1916 machineguns in three twin mounts, one mount on the bow and the other two amidships. There are 3,880 rounds of ammunition available for each mount, 1,940 rounds per gun, for a total of 11,640 rounds. Stock, the mounts can traverse horizontally at a rate of 64°/s and vertically at a rate of 55°/s; with the "Auxiliary Armament Targeting" modification installed, this is increased to 75°/s and 65°/s respectively. Each gun has a magazine capacity of 97 rounds and a cyclic rate of fire of around 550 rounds/min. With a stock crew, the guns can be reloaded in 14 seconds; with an aced crew, they can be reloaded in 7 seconds.

-Within all of the belts, the AP round is the main damage dealer. The T round deals very little damage to both surface targets and aircraft, only really being useful as a guide for aiming. As a result, the AP belt, with its 3:1 ratio of AP:T rounds, is the most effective in all situations. The Universal belt, with its 1:1 ratio of AP:T rounds, is a direct downgrade from the AP belt in terms of damage and should be replaced by the AP belt as soon as it's unlocked. While the API belt, comprising wholly of IT rounds, may initially seem like the best option due to the incendiary effect of the IT rounds, the IT round in practice is actually comparable to the T round in damage, rarely starting fires and doing incredibly little damage against surface targets. Against aircraft, the difference in damage between the AP belt and the API belt is negligible.
