Disagreement over 3P, ALAMO and Vulcano against small craft

Different accounts of ammunition tests and development leave disagreements about performance and intended roles unresolved.

Notes

Cyclic alleges that 3P performed poorly against a USV swarm despite the rounds functioning, and favours ALAMO for earlier hits at longer range. He also values its low cost and fire-and-forget operation. Alex Clarke prefers Vulcano in 76 mm, prompting disagreement over its availability and its relationship to DART. Cyclic distinguishes the land-attack role he associates with Vulcano from the anti-surface role of DART. Clarke replies that an exercise prompted further work on an unintended anti-surface use. These competing assessments draw on reported experience, without test data that settles the disagreement.
