For a round of that caliber, 800 tons is not enough. Projectiles are generally quite dense, so you should bump up the mass estimate by a good amount there.

That's limitations of SE engine. Solid shells can't cause so much destruction as expected. And that shell - is practically nuke, stabilisation system and engine inside 2.5 m (one cube) thick hard alloy casing.

Even then it still ought to be a lot heavier, even guided missiles are frequently heavier than a lot of people would expect, as missiles rarely carry any empty space in them. and even with gun shells there isn't actually a lot of difference in weight of an AP shell or an HE shell. For example, the 16 inch50 caliber guns on the Iowa had an AP shell weight of 1200 kg, where as the HE, and the nuclear armed shells both had weights around 800 kg. So how much firepower is this shel supposed to have anyway.

As I said before - I'ts limitations of game itself. And this weapon system (shell and battleship-based spinal massdriver) is build only to bypass\exploit bugs and cause as much damage as possible in actual PvP.
Okay, my good mood is over, even if I see the first furfag for all time, who shown at least traces of intelligence.
So, block.
