Buffed greased would suffer from the same issues as normal greased, and it'd be awkward to pull off. You'd need an engineer to buff the gat, then run over to their own gun. It might work on anti-Galleon Pyra builds, but that's about it.

And Echo, your argument would be perfectly valid if it wasn't wrong :P The gun buff lasts 20 seconds. 7.2 second clip, plus a five-second reload. The buff lasts two clips. In addition, the two reloads from those clips add up to 10 seconds. It takes 6 seconds to buff a gun.

Forgot the Gat doesn't have 60 bullets anymore with Heavy, silly me.

To only worry about the gat though is a little short-sighted though. Light flak loaded with heavy is only 3 shots now. Not an instant kill for many boats.

Yeah, this will definitely have me playing around with other ammo on the flak. Probably burst, but we'll have to see how things work out. This also makes another argument for more mortar use. (Now I just need to get better at hitting with it)

It's an instant kill against a Junker... And that's all. With a buff you can also get the Spire and Mobula in one clip, I think.

Honestly, I think that greased is a better choice than burst for the flak.
