Medium Weapons, Anyone?

With normal ammo and no buff it needs 3 hits on a balloon.

Who ever uses normal ammo in a heavy carronade? Point being, it's a very weak point to use making it sound worse off then the light carro. I'll refrain from derailing now.
Alistair MacBain:
Who? Me cause when im on a sniper galleon with a hflak, a lumberjack one side and a hcarro, manticore other side. And as engineer i have only one ammo type i probably take lesmok to get the longrange i need. So i cant take charged rounds.
And i didnt ask for a change. Im fine with that fact.
Captain Smollett:
1 Heavy Carronade shot has 340 flechette damage and 360 shatter damage.
Multiplied by the modifiers (340*1.8) + (360*.2) = 684 balloon damage per shot * 2 shots (684*2) = 1368 balloon damage per clip.
All goi ships have 1200 balloon health so even with vanilla, accurate gunnery can two shot a balloon with damage to spare. This of course is greatly assisted by use of heavy clip, charged rounds, lochnagar and/or a buff set further easing the assured destruction of your opponents balloon.
Zenark:
A medium Carronade using Heavy Clip easily two shots balloons at gatling ranges.
A medium Flak, when used well, needs only 3-4 shots to take out an unarmored Galleon.
The Hwacha is the best weapon at its job, ie. breaking many components in a few seconds.
The Lumberjack, arguably the hardest medium gun to use, is absolutely devastating when used right. Balloon is gone in 2-3 hits, even if you don't hit it directly, and it strips armor ridiculously fast. The only time I've felt more helpless than being locked down by an LJ is being locked down by pre 1.3 dual Mercs.
Medium weapons, while I agree that there should be more, fill their role well.
Alistair MacBain:
Well i think some numbers have changed on this because im pretty sure i once shot and hit 2 hcarro shots on a balloon and it didnt instapop. And as u cant buff the hp of a balloon there is either a fail at my side which i will watch or the numbers arent correct anymore but thats not the point of this thread imo so bbt ;).
