Other Options other than the tried and tested Gat/Flak

Gambrill:
I've recently been messing about... literally, and come out with some AMAZING results. such as..

An all banshee squid, with a certain angle you can get two firing at once then kerosene away and get the side and rear firing.

A junker with banshee at front, Gatling and flamers on sides.

any other Random loadouts that have helped you? let me know :) i want to try anything! :)

Rainer Zu Fall:
I now have pretty often seen a Gat/Flamer/Artemis Junker. I dont know about that one, you need a special way of approaching (other than gat/flak) which may be hard for new players. Furthermore you need a good co-captain to win with this setup. Also it highly depends on your enemies.

I figured out a way to use a Galleon effectively, been using it since... a long time. You need to know the basics of how to pilot a Galleon though (move as less as possible, stay at one position, only turn your sides with the enemy).
It contains 2 far range guns on the left side as well as a mercury and 2 CQC guns on the right side. Rear gun is a carronade.
That way you can shoot them from fair away and if they get close - simply turn your right side. If they get behind you and you cant aim for them (although using claw/kerosene) just shoot them down with the carronade, gives you time to repair and reposition.

I don't know about the all banshee squid... you don't have piercing guns on there and the banshee doesnt do that much damage.

HamsterIV:
The banshee has a wider turning thus its forn/side overlap sweet spot is much wider than the overlap you get with the gat/flack. However there is an overlap with the gat/flack or gat/gat. When I went squid (before the last patch) I went Gat front Gat side and asked my ally to bring the explosive finishing move. The build was useless in a solo fight, but paired with a tanky explosive dealing ship it was pretty effective.

 hmmm i might try that, sounds amazing! thanks man

Zenark:
I've used a Field gun and Flak combo on the front of my Pyramidion. From a long distance you can take out their engines and  peel away their armor as your approaching. By the time their armor is down, you're in range for your Flak to finish them off, or a good ram if that doesn't work. If your front gunners are good shots, you should be able to obliterate anything but a Galleon in a single approach.
