I do love using those rounds. A lot of pilots hate when Gunners use them though. If used right, I think they're pretty effective. Challenging, but fun.

Echoez:
So I tried out the 2Gat/Hwacha Spire today with some people, it can work with a good crew and a decent ally, any games we won, were pretty close and it's pretty hard to handle it. Also, Mercuries are still a problem and don't get me started on Lumberjacks..

I'll call it 2gatcore for now.

Sugar Honey:
I like that very much, Echo X)

Echoez:
Keep in mind that it's still far from being effective, we had some luck on our side and didn't get horribly double teamed, even though my ally was pretty sub par during those games, the games we won were harsh and were in non-open maps except that one time in Dunes.

This ship, it's not realy not effective- well.. not as efficient as one would want it to be, it's very hard to pull off a trifecta without backfire from the enemy and the moment they can backfire, you will break like a piece of thin glass hitting the floor. It's way too risky for the rewards it offers and breaks way too easily, I honestly can't see how the devs can just say it is 'working as intended' while it's not even worth using over anything else other than just having some fun I guess or if you like its looks.

The more I think about it, the more I want that secong gun on the top deck to be facing bow, so it can get 2 mercs and a heavy gun on a single target, then it might be worth using over the Galleon sometimes, it would still be horribly fragile for an airship of such mass, but at least it would put out a lot more damage for what it;s worth.

Captain Smollett:
Never forget how close the helm is to the top gun.  Yes it's difficult, but if you put a flak on the starboard mount and preload it with heavy, a slight tweak to the wheel and 2 seconds off the helm can get a life saving kill. 

No Pyramidion can charge into gat and hwacha fire without losing it's armor at least once, some well placed flakshots will make sure it never arrives at its intended destination.
