Getting Killed by a merc is more demoralizing than getting locked down by a carronade for a slow and seemingly endless death sentence because you had a chance to shoot the guy with a carronade. It is a little thing, but a carronade has to pass through annother ship's effective gun range before it becomes effective. So the other guys get to see those little white hit boxes and feel like they have accomplished something. They may only scratch your hull armor before you grind them into the dirt, but it is more than if you get dropped by quad merc outside of your weapons' maximum range. As some one who has been stomped on quite a bit it, is those little things that keep you going.

RomanKar:
One Mercury in decent hands is enough to shut down a Goldfish completely.  At this time, I can see no reason whatever to ever fly a Goldfish.

Skrimskraw:
I'll elaborate more what happened in the match.

first we took the mercs into a brawl, locking down the enemy. Then the enemy realized they were in trouble brawling us.
Then we started locking them down at longer range, where the field of depth only showed the enemy as spotting boxes.

Shink to say that you were able to do it because you have 2 very good gunners is true, but I still don't see the diffrence. In our match we suffered instant lock down before we barely even showed our faces.

Vs. the carronade using drogue chute is a damn good way of surviving a balloon lock down, while your ally can help you.
vs. the hwacha the hwacha is unable to kill a hull on its own.
however vs. the mercury field guns you are completed screwed in my opinion. with 4 well places shots you are looking at 3 engines + 75% of your hull and possibly your guns down at a range that is so ridiculus when lesmok is applied.

Zenark:
I see why people dislike the Mercury so much, but even a dual merc Pyra can be killed. Honestly, I bet it would be surprisingly easy to take one out with a Hwacha fish in the right hands, even in Dunes.

Dual mercs are easy to use, that's why they're hard to counter since everything else is a little more difficult.

Nidh:
With the Heavy Clip change, using a Hwachafish is actually very weak. The thing that made the Hwachafish great was it's ability to at least partially disable from a decent range, thus being able to counter sniping teams to a degree. But with the reduced clip size and the vulnerability of the gun on a goldfish, it has a much harder time disabling anything at all on it's approach.
