Trust me, id take the opportunity. Besides, to sink a cimmaron tanker (very common) you hve to expend maybe 30-40 shells of HE to sink it.
think of it this way. a 3.46 Inch shell, fired from a couple hundred meters/ one or two kilometers hits a ship. A merchant has zero armor. These shells are powerful considering that a merchant has no armor and it fairly often had some sort of ammo or fuel that could easily blow up. not to mention its own fuel and engine.

I do enjoy it a lot

i was adressing more the fire rate which is quite fast in my opinion it took longer for a crew to load and aim even in perfect weather. The effects of the shell are surely as hell as you described it. Ship had no armor etc. Today i will try the FX mod
