My thunder rounds and lead have the same rank and do the EXACT same damage. 3 leads do 1 thunder. Then whats the point of thunder?
 
Thunderbolt has a bigger range than Round Shot does, its range is probably the main purpose of Thunderbolt for most cannoneers. For people with the Stormchaser upgrade on their ship, spending skill points on Thunderbolt can greatly increase the damage of a broadside. It's also definitely one of the more flashy ammo types too, if you're into that!
 
It's not just about thunderbolts it's also about the speed you get from the ship upgrade but yeah damage might be the same but if you get rank 6 storm chaser you'll do more damage with more chances of thunderbolt broadsides
 
As everyone else explained, it's about the range and projectile speed for thunderbolt on cannons. It's a lot easier to aim. Additionally, it does actually have higher overall damage, because you can fire three thunderbolt shots faster than you can fire nine round shots. Though the Shoot skill reduces this difference, thunderbolt still comes out slightly on top even after spending the extra 5 skill points.

It's absolutely about the broadsides. Storm Chaser has 190% average damage compared to an ordinary broadside.
