If so, I am even more in love with it.  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEoqrjFX1yI)

Ain't it just an Armor piercing shell coated in some kind of burning viscous compound?

Are you sure Thermite was around during the 20th century?

Thermite was discovered 1893 so it fits the game's timeline. Considering that the armor piercing damage of the hades is on the AOE a shell doesn't fit, I'm thinking some kind of napalm like burning fuse that when it splashes on the target ship mixes with air and ignites the thermite mixed into it. If it has too little time to start burning fully it lacks the temperature to ignite thermite, hence the arming time & moderate direct fire damage.

It would fit the 'on fire' then 'more on fire' arming aspect of the burning projectile.

It does have a certain flair to it.
Thermite cannon. It feels so bubbly when fired.
Unfortunately, I can't hit anything with a hades.
