Ailen:
At close range you can not leave the helm and even more so hull. The spire is losing armor in 4.5 seconds of firing Gatling and falling apart with volley of flak cannon. If an engineer sitting on hull, it will give you an even 2.2 seconds.
At long range it better, but you still can be destroyed long-range guns, as the Spire profile that is easy to get into.
In addition, leaving the helm you can not adjust the direction, and thus lose the ability to shoot.
In short, it is only good for games against inexperienced pilots.
Charon:
Didn't the spire get used against MNS recently? I'm sorry, but even with all the dramatics lately, I'm not about to call Zill an inexperienced pilot.
Edit: got it, you're talking about the pilot leaving the helm to attempt a trifecta. That's no good. Engineers would have to do it or it's not worth doing.

It did not. Most recent for cogs was an artemis junker and a galleon.
Like it or not, that 2nd top gun is for the pilot. Spire is too squishy to have the bottom engie trek up there and then start taking fire. Problem is unless you are a long way out, your spire gets focused rather quickly. This pretty much negates any chance of you using it in short-mid range.

Alternatively you could just put a piercing + explosive combo and have gungeneer man them both, one at the time and have pilot and main engineer man the other only when you have time to man the other. - simmilar to having pryra hull engi do trifecta with bottom front gun in 1.1.4 or 1.1.5
