New weapon idea(s): Ligh and Heavy shark torpedo launcher
omegaskorpion:
Ligh and Heavy Shark Torpedo Launcher
Light Shark
Stats
Direct Damage: 50 Fire
Burst Damage: 100 shatter
Burst radius: 6m
Effective Vs: Balloon, hull, guns, engines
Reload Speed: 4 s
Magazine Size: 2
Projectile Speed: 400 m/s²
Fire speed: 1.25 Bullets/s
Range: 2000m
Size: light
Horizontal Angles: 40 deg Left; 40 deg Right
Vertical Angles: 40 deg Up, 40 deg Down
Other information:
Torpedo's have heat seeking ability and they follow biggest heat source (ships), they can be fooled with flare gun and they will follow closest flare.
Torpedo's heat seeking area radius is 300m so they can't follow targets that are outside of that area.
Torpedo's are bigger than missiles and canon shots and are more visible, they can also be shot with any gun before they reach their target.

Now see, I haven't been too interested in most of your concepts for guns so far, but THIS! This is actually rather unique and interesting! This is what I want to see in a new gun! Something that actually stands out in what it does! Heat-seeking missiles, huh? The seeking area should probably be little smaller, so you at least have to aim a little. Overall though, I LOVE this concept!
EDIT: Reload speed might need to be toned down a bit too, as this IS a weapon that's a bit tricky to deal with, even if you can shoot it down or counter with flares. Noobs would die in droves XD
I assume, as this deals fire damage, it would have a chance to ignite fires?
EDIT2: Okay, so I'm going to probably end up theory-crafting this gun to death now in an attempt to see how balanced it is, to break down ways it could work that might be interesting but still balanced, and just generally doing crazy shit with it XD I shall post it all in a new post when I finish "testing" it and thinking up ideas, as I'm sure this post will be locked by then. Though I'll probably go to bed first so I can do it after I've woken up with a fresh mind.

Thank you, i appreciate ideas. (and yes the gun has change to ignite fire)
And no, i wont lock these idea posts since i want to hear peoples ideas and opinions. (if some of my posts are locked: i have no idea why they are locked)
Dementio:
He probably means the fact that you can't modify your own post after a certain period of time.
I dunno about the projectile speed. If it were to be too fast then the projectile would fly right past the enemy ship, unless the projectile can turn incredible fast, which makes dodging it impossible (don't forget that pilot tools should be useful too).
Considering the range it has, it can potentially be better than any other long range gun and the shatter damage makes it all the more useful. In contrast, mercury, artemis, hades, heavy flak and lumberjack require lots of practise in order to aim. I would tune it down to around 1000m, so that long range ships have a better chance fighting it, at least on the light version (light flak has less range than heavy flak too).
I am a bit confused with the logic of giving the light version more burst radius than it's heavy counterpart. Damage is arguable since the heavy version has so much more ammo and its fire rate is higher as well.
Long range fire damage heavy guns needs to be a thing. Heat-seeking makes it easy to use. Considering that its burst damage is shatter damage could make it a potential harrasment weapon like the artemis was/is. Switching it though is questionable too since only fire damage is easy to counter with chem spray and how accurate can you be with heat-seeking projectiles in order to make use of direct damage?
Anyhow, I like this gun so far.
Omniraptor:
I really like the heatseeking/flare idea because it comes with downsides- the torpedo can be shot down and it can be dodged. I would only make it seek out working engines or guns, so a crafty pilot could turn off engines, stop firing guns, and easily dodge by just using vertical mobility.
Gilder has been asking for a torpedo almost a year now.. https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,1580.0.html
The artemis also used to be heat-seeking, then was deemed op and removed, but that was before my time.
