From the perspective of a warship, the best way to represent a shore battery is as a giant target. While they were intended to prevent amphibious assault, typically they were attacked by carrier born or land based bombers and never had the opportunity to take a single shot at a warship. That would leave the beaches covered by only inland field artillery, which in turn would be attacked by naval gun fire (since they could now get in range) and more aircraft. In the end, they looked pretty scary but never really delivered on their promise.
