205 two ships

Along with the explosion of the ships, the hearts of the elven sailors shattered as well. They watched helplessly as a single cannonball struck a friendly warship, which then exploded like a powder keg.

The majority of the shells carried by the Brunas 1 were simple impact-fused models without any armor-piercing capabilities.

However, such shells were strangely effective against wooden warships, which essentially lacked any armor protection.

If armor-piercing rounds were used, the shell would have to delay its explosion after impact, or it might not explode at all, thus inflicting very limited damage to wooden sailing ships.

Now, with impact fuse shells smashing into wooden hulls and detonating immediately, the ships' structures could be directly destroyed, or even worse, the explosives stored on board could be ignited!
