Guns and gunner skills balance only.  Refrain from speculation, theory crafting, etc... it is not helpful to me.  Instead please test and then discuss.

Echoez:
Wait, I though the Heavy carronade's range would be 425, not 375. Is this for real?

awkm:
No.  Old number.  Fixed.

The Djinn:
I'm a little concerned about the Heavy Carronade having comparable range to both the Gatling and the Mortar, although I'll admit I haven't flown against Carronades much today.

All I know is that I'd use the threat of armor shred + mortar damage to discourage Carronade ships from getting to close, as they'd often realize that there was a decent chance I could really damage their ship before falling. The severe range nerf to both the gatling AND the mortar means that the Carronade now hits me before I can reliably get any real damage on their ship.

I guess I'll give it a while to settle, but the Carronade seems like it's simply winning the Brawling war vs Gat/Mortar by a good margin, as it can cripple a balloon and put you on the defensive before any Gat-based brawling set-up has really had time to do any actual damage.

Echoez:
Quite honestly after taking a shot to try and beat a competent team with a Galleon/Junker combo (mind you it was a fully fitted out Gents lobby, so no randoms) using brawling guns, not only did it feel completely underwhelming to use any of them, but they weren't doing as well either.

Gatling takes forever to empty a clip even with Greased cause it has 80-92 bullets in the magazine, Mortar too slow and low ammo count plus less range, Carronade range is completely borked down and the reload timer is ruining it, in the meantime, sniper builds have more than TRIPLE the range of our guns and due to our guns' spreads, we can't even use something like Lesmok to get a slight edge.

Brawling is sucessfully locked within 450 meters range and very easily prone to weapon disablers.

But nobody listens to me when I say that Carronades are fine, or anything else right?
