so if i set AI ships with only three spheres (front, middle and back), there should be no problems and older pc can have easiest life

The only problem I can see is that the three big spheres wouldn't follow ship models so strictly. Weird collision interactions are to be expected, both with other vesseld and with the seabed (in shallow waters), and magnetic pistols might be rendered buggy.
All in all, my susggestion is to keep small-sized spheres near the keels, the prows and the sterns, and to place the big spheres near the center and center-top section of each ship, but that's probably how stock ships are set anyway
