Re: After so many years
HEAT (High Explosive - Anti Tank) ammo given to either Field Guns or Field Howitzers is, indeed for self defense direct fire. HEAT shells are shaped charge multi-purpose rounds that can be fired at almost anything. (In game terms: has an explosive effect like HE but with reduced area of effect and has a penetration value against armour). In modern terms Gun and Howitzer tends to be used interchangeably - historically Howitzers have short barrels and fire at a higher angle (big mortars).
Yes bomblets and cluster are the same thing (usually a cluster munition is the full shell and a bomblet refers to the sub munitions which come from it).
In the game the Cala+ has some Cluster ammo available which the Cala does not that is all.
