Bear in mind that it's probably not a single shell, more likely 15
rounds per tube at a nice steady 3 rounds/minute.  You might have
"intensive fire" where you double the number of shots but at some cost
in readiness (better comms roll needed to call it in, starts 1 box
farther out on the Inbound chart, or something similar).  But yeah,
it's kinda odd that a 16" shell doesn't do more than a 60mm mortar,
just over a larger area.
