Hi all... I've been studying the IJN for a while now, and I've come across an interesting idea. Beehive shells! The Japanese B YAMATO had AA Shells for her main 18" Guns. They were like giant shotgun blasts to shred an entire squadron of US Planes.

Read about San-Shiki Dan. Now granted, this may seem overpowered, so I'm looking for suggestions on how to NERF this as well because otherwise ppl may think it's cheap. But I did want to mention this; cool for historical accuracy. Perhaps they'd carry only 1 bind or reload really slow in NF?
EDIT: The idea was for a longer range AA weapon which produces multiple explosions (sort of like a cluster bomb) and can bring down more than one plane. Now I know that sounds really OP'd. ...Being a BB shell, the Beehive would reload crazy slow, therefore nerfing the capability a bit so it's not overpowered. The other nerf is that BBs' cannons can't aim at a high angle so they can't shoot down planes that are about to dive-bomb them. The ability to use these would also be lessened because the foe would have to be properly scouted in order for you to aim one of these right. But in some situations I think this could bring something new to NF.
