For those who don’t know. Sanshiki Dan were anti air shells that were more useful for shore bombardment than anti air duties.
But I’m exploring another potential use for the game. Coastal boats.
Would these shells be more effective against multiple small, maneuvering boats at coastal spawn? While not very effective in metal fragments it could be setting multiple boats on fire.
And I could see them destroying multiple exposed elements of a ship at once, e.g. turrets.
I assume they could work like the HE TF shells in game for when the shell is turned into a “shotgun”, but I’m not sure if that was the case historically.
According to the above point, it could also be interesting alternative means of disrupting battleships for low penetration guns.
