Effective damage
Damage output from near-misses is very comparable to the Type 98 Number 25, but if the bomb manages to penetrate inside the vessel, it typically does a guaranteed kill, or a crippling damage to even the largest battleships.
Comparison with analogues
There are very, very few heavy armour-piercing bombs available, making it difficult to make a fair comparison, as most nations lack any bombs that could be thought of as an analogue. Still, among those few peers that exist, the Type 3 Number 150 has rather small explosive filler and a low penetration, being grossly outmatched by the German counterpart.

If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
