Should the Galleon really be intermediate difficulty?

N-Sunderland:
Also, you have to remember that the difficulty doesn't only apply to the pilot. It's a pretty demanding ship for gunners and engineers.

AgentMatchbox:
Thanks guys. You're comments gave me a better perspective about the game.

Also, just a quick question.
When I use Double Hwachas, I use a gatling gun on the upper left side for getting rid of the hull armour, making the destruction of an enemy ship not take so ridiculously long. Is this a good strategy, or would another weapon be better in a scenario like this?


Edit: Another question, will using burst rounds on a hwacha provide a greater area of denial effect, or would it be more worth it to take a different type of ammo?

Keon:
Depends on what range you want to engage at. Close range, a gatling. Long range, take a mercury field gun.

As for ammo, burst is great for utter destruction at close range. At long range, take heavy clip, so you get a tighter cone of fire.

AgentMatchbox:
Thanks for the tips. Glad to know I'm not doing something wrong :)

Yes side mounted gat is the best choice for a Hwacha galleon, since it is a close range build. If you take longer range guns a mercury field gun becomes the better choice.

IMO one Gatling gun and one hwacha is enough to kill most ship reasonably quickly, the 2nd hwacha is a bit overkill at close range and denies you the long range option. I have a gat, manticore and lumber jack on the left side of my galleon in case I am forced into a sniper duel. The Galleon is no good at chasing down snipers so you have to plan ahead. Double Hwacha is better if you are going to do all your fighting at close range, but when an experienced pilot sees that build in lobby they will start configuring a sniper ships.

Burst rounds provide the highest DPS for that gun when most of your shots hit (close range). When engaging at medium to long range Heavy clip becomes better since it will result in less misses.
