Also my OCD disallows me to call this a steampunk game, by the time our engines use fuel and are combustion based, it's dieselpunk. Get your facts straight people!

If I remember correctly the tank from paritan looks more like something built after 1918, other than that must be 1916 where the first tank was built?

Kind of like.. you know, the end of WWI, there were a few tanks nearing the end of WWI that looked like the ones in Paritan Rumble, but still, these look like the ones that were built when the war was ending.
WWI was mostly trench-warfare, hence why the tanks look like they do and had no turret, they were mostly made to traverse trenches and break through enemy lines. Needless to say they were horrible at doing so back then cause the terrain they had to traverse was riddled with craters caused by artillery shells, they were horribly slow as well.
Tanks still used combustion engines, hence why this is dieselpunk and not steampunk :P
WW1 Flak guns were pretty punny as well, the Heavy Flak gun is most certainly a caliber too large for WW1 Flaks.
HamsterIV:
Considering the openness of current airships in the game I think the entire crew would get sniped before they got a chance to board. So if there were boarding the weapons should be limited to hand to hand. My boarding options would be: Polearm, Cutlass & Buckler, Florentine.
Polearm does one powerful long range attack that is slow to refire. It will be good against Florentine since they can make a kill before the Florentine user can get in range.
Cutlas buckler takes half damage from front facing attacks and have a faster yet weaker single sword attack. They are good against polearms since their damage reduction allows them to pass through the pole arms effective range without dying.
Florentine does damage at twice the rate of cutlass buckler and their angle of attack somewhat negates the bucklers front facing defense bonus. They are good against cutlas & buckler since they can out DPS.

I think everyone needs to point to the obvious, boarding in this game doesn't work cause it wouldn't work in a realistic impresentation of the game either. Why the hell board the ship you got close to and not just shoot the damn crew with your giant cannons/Flamers/rockets from point blank?.. I'm pretty sure a Hwacha barrage on an enemy ship would not just disable guns, but kill mostly anyone on board, especially with all these wide explosions :P

If you wanted to capture the ship without damaging it or anything it contains then boarding the ship would be the best way to go about it. If you want the cargo of a ship you can't very well blow it up.

I will blow it up I said! Boarding is for pirates and thieves!
