Medium Weapons, Anyone?

It still feels weird to me now that they are referred to as medium weapons when there aren't any larger guns.

A bit of a reference to this one would assume
What would have been the heavy howitzer.
Captain Smollett:
The medium flak is so much more powerful than the light flak. A buffed charged shot from a heavy flak one shots a pyramidion. You need every last shot of a buffed light flak to make a pyra kill.
Nothing compares in the game to the raw power of the lumberjack. Find a gunner that can land every shot and prepare to have a hard time keeping anyone in your lobby after the matches end.
These weapons are hard to use granted, but they're made up for by sheer brute force. There is absolutely nothing more satisfying in GOI than one shotting an enemy ship with a long range heavy flak round. It's like shooting a game winning three point shot in basketball that you know is going in as it leaves your fingers and spending the next few seconds basking in glory as it slowly sinks in between the rim and swooshes through the net.
Van Manfred:
@Piemanlives; Yeah, that one's heavy. Or the ones you can see on the battleship hulks layering the ground. Looks like a 18-20" bore on that beast. That's grade "A" bang-bang machinery for sure. :P

But not a Pyramidion with a buffed hull. Or any other kind of ship, excepting maybe an ill-crewed Spire. The perfect conditions you wrote usually only happen as the result of an ambush at startgame. Buff and load the little Flak the same way, in the same conditions, and you'll have similar results (it packs quite a punch too), as you wrote.

I agree - but it requires "that gunner", not some engineer who happens to pass by, like for a Light gun. The real edge here is the gunner's quality, more than the gun's. A great engineer, too, is quite the boon. Great gunners can indeed make good use of any weapons, Medium ones included. But as I wrote, they require more specific conditions, that you are not entirely sure to have if you don't sign in with your own full crew.

Aye !!!
But nonetheless, I just wish there was more choices and polyvalency in Medium weapons still.
Echoez:
There simply ain't enough Heavy weapon content at the moment and since Muse refuses to add some sort of heavy flamethrower or a heavy auto-cannon there probably won't be enough brawling heavy guns in the future either, it's a pity to see the big boys underused for sure.

I can sort of understand that though...if you have a heavy auto-cannon with good armor shredding or a really strong brawling weapon, the Galleon suddenly becomes a complete beast, as it's able to just kill you quickly with any side.
It also makes heavy gun tag-teams WAY to powerful: imagine a faster-than-gatling armor shred on a Auto-Cannon fish, while a Lochnager Flak Fish flies alongside him.
