Acceleration is the key part here to make this work as it will hamper the shell from behaving like a guided missle rather than direct-fire cannon. At {{~~TTL~~\|Acceleration\|40}} or higher the effect is so severely diminished that it virtually does not appear. Consecutively there is no apparent increase in projectile speed. For fun or precaution's sake, feel free to increase the Acceleration value as high as you want it.
