Lets Talk Gatling
Squidslinger Gilder:
Honestly I've little faith in the weapon. When you enter CQC engagements, flames and carronade cause instant havoc and quick results while gat...1 clip, 2 clip, and sometimes more, finally armor goes down. Just takes far too long. Half the shots are hitting components and not hitting the hull but heavy clip so blech so can't use that. When you are engaging Junkers and Galleons they can just sit there laughing while you pin prick them cause they know you're never going to crack that armor in time.
In killing power, we've got our range engagements, we've got our mid range, and now we've got nothing but disable in close. Sure some use CQC kill builds still but often times I notice them ramming or bringing in a side gun with extra arc to make it work. So lets talk Gatling. It sucks, so what can be done? Reload speed? Ammo adjustment? Tiny buff to dmg?
Easy answer is just run it buffed all the time but imo, there is something wrong if anything needs a tool to make it viable. Tools should make something "Oh crap its buffed! Tank Tank Tank!!"

I think the gat is fine.

I run gats on my junker and pyra and it's more than fine. Every gun needs a good gunner that knows how to use it and knows what ammo type to use in it. I've found the gun is best place on a pyra or a junker where they can have a supporting gun. The gat will burn armor very fast. Galleons are my ideal target for that reason. They turn too slow generally to do anything about me and that gives us time to do what we need to do with the gat. I try to avoid other junkers, but they pose little problem when the clan is on in a PUG.

Um.. you do realize that a gat can 1 clip any ship armor right? (even galleon armor, though that is tougher) If it is taking more than 1 clip that is a problem with the gunner not the gun.
