I don't know about tactics, but I would think that the wonky physics of flying chain shot would reduce its overall range as well as the range at which it could be effectively aimed.

If you read my latest AAR Jason. You will see what brought the matter to a head. In the battle the French Leander is loaded with Chain. Not only does this mean that in closing she missed two good chances of first time shots upon the Nottingham, but when she eventually crossed the Nottingham's stern she did pathetic damage.
Captain Kiwi drew for her to see what first time double shot would have produced under the same circumstances, and the fight would have finished right there with a French winner.
I wont be using Chain again even for an AI!

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
