The danger of an 18-inch gun depends on whether its shells hit. Yamato and Musashi provide the examples: a battleship might endure an isolated 18-inch strike but would struggle to remain effective under repeated hits. The game's damage behaviour cannot quantify a real shell's effect, especially after the stream's earlier modelling problems. The sequence separates shell power from the fire-control reliability needed to deliver it.
