User blog:Homuhomu123/Preliminary Test on the Type 3 Shell Bonus Against Anchorage Water Demon

Motivation
Someone asked about detailed info on the Sanshiki (or Type 3 shell) bonus against installation type enemies. As I did some research on the subject, from the few test I found somehow lacks clarity.To be brief, the questions came in my mind are:
 * In night battles, Sanshiki bonus is pre-cap or post-cap ?
 * Does the bonus also apply in day battle (assume pre-cap) ?

This would also be an excitement for the boring E-5 grinding process :v

Spreadsheet:

Data from day & night battles are recorded on 2 spreadsheets. You may download it for better viewing.

A total of 30+ runs, only 20 made it to the boss (screw you Ru class, I know you love Ryuujou wherever I place her but stop). A bit small on the samples but I think I've run out steel. (I'm looking at you Littorio)

Test Condition:
 * Morale > 40
 * Only damage dealt to the Anchorage Water Demon (armor 220) will be collected.
 * AS guaranteed at boss node.
 * Saiun to prevent red T.

Test Ship:
 * Littorio (T91/AP + 381mm_Kai*2)
 * Nagato (Sanshiki + 41cm*2)
 * Yamashiro (Sanshiki + 41cm*2)
 * Choukai (Sanshiki + 20.3cm*2)
 * Ryuujou
 * (SS)
