Echidna, Light Flak Discussion.
Ccrack:
the only way i see the light flack becoming usefull again is to increase its accuracy and maybe a very slight range increase so its not dependant on heavy clip to land shots, ofcorse the balance being that the mortar at close range would still be abel to put out more damage

I don't think it needs to be able to kill stuff in one clip no matter the circumstances. Less dps but more accurate. You gain the benefit of range, but itll take longer to kill something. With mortar, it's possible to kill something with one clip, but with less accuracy, there is a good chance you miss that chance, especially if the enemy escapes or out-flies you.
Zenark:
I use flak over mortar when its a finishing weapon. A flamer on the front of a Squid to cause chaos and take down armor, then a quick turn for the flak to empty its clip. This sometimes is a one clip kill. I'll use it on my Blenderfish as well worth the same strategy.
I use both, but with completely different tactics. I like the Flak, but I use it as a generally short range weapon while I use the mortar as medium range.
Spud Nick:
I think that the flak should have more range than the mortar. The mortar should be a high damage close range weapon like the carronade.

I think it has better consistency at those longer ranges since it's easier to hit and aim with, it just can't deal as much damage as a mortar with a good gunner. But I use Flak because of its small clip size. I want that gun to empty its clip in a couple of seconds so I can get back to using my front gun and so the Engineer using it can jump off and resume repairs.
