If you are only using the Hawacha on a Hawacha fish, then you are doing something very wrong when piloting it...
Doesn't change the fact that your giant front gun will be reloading for 14 seconds after firing and on a Goldfish, it's the only giant gun. I didn't say it's utterly useless, don't put words in my mouth, I said, it is and feels pretty crap, it's not satisfying nor THAT rewarding, considering light guns will be up long before you will have reloaded, nothing stops the enemy from disabling the Hwacha while it's unusable due to reloads and if you load the wrong ammo due to gun downtime, god save you.
You would also have to be a realy horrible player to just use the Hwacha on a HwachaFish, but that doesn't change the fact that it's not the most optimal gun for it. Oh and inb4 someone jumps in and says that's because the Carronade is so OP hurr, no, it's just the Hwacha not being that optimal unless you are fighting a Galleon where the disable time is actually paid off properly and the Risk/Reward is better due the Galleon being such a massive target that it is (and maybe the occasional stupid Junker that won't move an inch higher to avoid litteraly all your rockets if you are firing Heavy at it, becuase obviously Junkers have no hitbox of which to speak of, lol)
I haven't seen a truly sucessful HwachaFish in a long while, too easy to avoid with vert tools and then the Goldfish has to deal with having no other frontal guns, there's many factors to piloting a Goldfish that I consider when saying this guns is suboptimal for it, I fly the freaking thing all the time.
Gatling is too slow to be paired with it, Goldfish can't just stand there and take shots while firing a gatling, so unless your gunner is a god that can fire the gat like a lazer on the enemy and not miss a shot while you manuver around them.. yeah. Carronades are an other viable combo, but short ranged and CAN actually be a pain to fire from the side of a fast moving ship like the Goldfish.
Anyway, I'm honestly not saying something new and I have given up on the thoughts of having the Hwacha even slightly to how it was on 1.2, not sure why I'm still arguing here
PS: Still waiting on a Heavy Flamethrower Muse, it better be a good one if it comes out, ever, we need more brawling Heavy weapons.
