Hwacha Tweek
Spud Nick:
The recent changes to the heavy carronade have made the hwacha less viable for the spire and the goldfish. I think that the heavy carronade is starting to overshadow the hwacha in terms of raw disabling power. What do you guys think about lowering the explosive damage in favor of a shorter reload time?

I thought about it, but the hwacha has enough of a hard time killing as it is. It needs a good punch when it gets that magical chance to hit bare hull.

Outside of troll builds, lolwut Carronade on a Spire?
Also they are used in very different ways, Hwacha can disable all components on your ship in one go while doing a considerable burst of armor damage and can also be used as a finisher. The carronade can kill your balloon in one go while adding pressure to armor as well and can 'selectively' destroy individual components, but takes time and it's also pretty bad at taking down perma-hull.
There is no overshadowing, they are guns that need to be used differently, the Carronade is a brawling gun while the Hwacha is a Close to Long range disabler-supporter, that range gap and unreliability is what needs fixing.
Captain Smollett:
k, everyone that is talking about buffing the hwacha, I challenge you all to spend some time on this gun and try some techniques mentioned in this thread.
I see a lot of people who typically pilot on this thread and a lot less who typically gun and I'm just starting to get the feeling that people are complaining about their gunners more than the gun.
HamsterIV:
I think the pilot density is mostly because people who spend time on the forums engaging in weapon balance debates tend to be captains who are in charge of configuring their ships.
