Goldfish side-gun arcs

Skrimskraw:
gonna make the goldie the strongest ship in the game possibly

IvKir:
Oh, come one. One good hwachafish or blenderfish, combined with, let's say an junker or pyro, and with some coordination between ships... it will be an nightmare team, i'm assure you.
Yes, goldfish alone is not so good - but i think someone on forum said, that you should treat ships like classes in Team Fortress, and it's not a bad thing, when one ship is useless all by itself.

Wundsalz:
I agree that the goldfish could use a little love atm.
Nerfing the artemis put aside (disable kills goldfishes), tilting the side guns slightly forward might be a good approach.
Currently the fishy flight style the goldie is supposed to be flown with is relatively rarely seen ingame. Personally, especially when flying a carro-fish, I often tend to rather keep my front pointed at my enemy than letting my engineers toy around with our side weapons. That's mostly because carro fishes often chase their enemies and hence would risk to loose the upper hand when it comes to positioning if the enemy isn't chased at full speed, which is following it while directly pointed to it. tilting the guns a bit to the front might encourage pilots to strafe enemies a little bit more than they do at the moment.
I personally don't want to see drastic adjustments like those which have been made for the spire, but a rather minor adjustment like a tilt of 10°. I also think tilting a single side gun would be better than tilting both - to prevent builds like lumber+dual arte or carro + dual banshee trifectas.

macmacnick:
How I feel the current goldfish is at.

Squished between an artemis barrage and a hard place in terms of viability due to the front guns huge hitbox and long rebuild time, along with the difficult bifecta. Well, the scary Flakfish are coming back, at least in high level play — horrors they are with their Lochnagar rounds and hull-armor-melting ally(allies).

IvKir:
Just let's not bring back that horror, that was before nerfing heavy carronades... -_-
