But a whole detachment of troops will get multiple fp for each barrage.

Um, last time I checked most arty and mortars like to have multiple types of
ammo and fuses available. What is to say the arty didn't drop AP(armor
piercing) rounds or HEAT (HE-anti-tank. Are you using a different
acronym?), instead of HEAP(anti-personnel) or HEDP (dual purpose)?

It still will be. Using a 35-50 pt unit to place 3 fp on a titan is not
terribly efficient.
