All vehicle weaponry in Planetside come with a limited pool of ammo, forcing vehicle crews to factor resupplying into their mission plan. Vehicle ammunition can be resupplied in a multitude of ways, with some acting faster, and others more convenient.
All methods of resupplying vehicle weaponry will grant ammo to all weapons simultaneously with each tick.
Static[]
Ammo Supply Tower[]
The most common form of vehicle resupply, these ammo towers are found in most bases on all continents, though are rarer on Esamir, being controlled by and only resupplying vehicles of the faction that owns the base.
Ammo towers will only resupply ground vehicles, air vehicles cannot receive ammo from towers.
To find an ammo tower, simply look for a tall tower in a friendly base with the holographic triple-bullet icon atop, or check your minimap for the ammo dump icon; 
Vehicle Ammo Dispenser (Construction)[]
Not to be confused with the Vehicle Ammo Dispenser defense slot available to the Galaxy and Sunderer.
Using the construction system, players can construct their own mini ammo supply towers. These towers are much smaller physically than ammo supply towers, though function identically. However, if the vehicle ammo dispenser is not powered by a cortium silo then it will not provide ammunition. These dispensers can also be destroyed the same as any other constructable.
Similar to the ammo supply tower, vehicle ammo dispensers will only resupply allied vehicles, and also share the same minimap icon.
Air Resupply/Landing Pad[]
Resupply pads are found on any base that is able to spawn air vehicles, as well as certain other bases (notably Raven Landing on Amerish). As with ammo supply towers, they will only resupply ammo to vehicles of the faction that controls the territory.
Resupply pads will only provide ammunition to air vehicles, ground vehicles cannot receive ammo from a resupply pad.
To find a resupply pad, seek a friendly base with an air terminal, which are normally positioned next to resupply pads, or check your minimap for the air ammo dump icon; 
Light Air Terminal[]
Using the construction system, players can construct their own air terminals and landing pads. These landing pads also double up as an Air Resupply pad. However, if the light air terminal is not powered by a cortium silo then the associated landing pad will not provide ammunition.
Similar to the standard Air Resupply pad, light air terminals will only resupply allied vehicles, and also share the same minimap icon.
Vehicle-borne[]
Vehicle Ammo Dispenser[]
- Main article: Vehicle Ammo Dispenser
Vehicle Ammo Dispenser is a defense slot upgrade available to the Sunderer and Galaxy.
While attached, a vehicle ammo dispenser periodically provides ammunition to allied vehicles within the listed range.
Allied vehicles with this upgrade attached can be identified in two ways; by the giant ammo crates and holographic triple-bullet icon on the rear of the truck/dropship, or by their unique minimaps icons that display a bullet alongside the vehicle's typical icon.
Implants[]
Certain implants are capable of supplying ammunition to vehicles.
- Main article: Ammo Printer
Ammo Printer is a common implant that grants all the user's weaponry, including all weaponry aboard vehicles they own, one 'tick' of ammunition each time the allotted amount of time passes.
The implant will not restore ammunition to vehicles the player is aboard if they do not personally own the vehicle. If the player does own the vehicle, the implant can trigger no matter which seat the player is occupying, if they are even inside the vehicle at all, resupplying all weaponry aboard the vehicle.
