Lets Talk Gatling

That doesn't account for the engies on the other ship doing the job and actually repairing their ship, a few mallet hits could make it 2-3 clips to take out a junker or galleon armor. However I don't think the gatling needs a buff (as in muse makes it better) considering it does fine in a basic meta set up while carros and flamers work better for balloons and disables, even then a gatling can still work well at taking out guns and engines if it is buffed or uses heavy clip.
Alistair MacBain:
The gat is fine where it is.
It can oneclipkill pyras and even junkers if the enemy does a mistake.
Take greased+buff and see those armor fall with nothing for the enemy engineer to do.
For everything else that isnt a oneclip you got that rather short reload time.
And the buff is only needed to counter the enemys buff. How you want to kill a buff without a buff? Thats the reason you buff cause the pyra got 840ish armor with buff and your unbuffed gat cant strip through. If theres no buff on the enemy you dont need one of your own.
And didnt you talk about outmaneuvering the enemy? If your gat doesnt get the instakill on a junker or galli (for which those are designed with their tankyness) you have to place yourself in a way the enemy cant react. Sure youre dead if you stay on their broadside and in their perfect arcs.

Show me the gunner who can reliably (that is 8 out of 10 times) oneclip any ship which has a competent engineers during approach to brawl without a buff on the gatling. Mind ye, even with buffs, the gat only has a 20% boost to damage while hulls get 30%.
Crafeksterty:
The gattling gun is very much fun, flamer and carronade do their thing, and the gat does its thing.
Gattling does a job that most guns need in order to destroy the enemy ship
While flamer and carronade need alot more time. Flamer can create havoc but it can be countered.
Carronade can take out baloon and maybe some components, but it still wont create dread on the ship.
Gattling however takes armor down, which is the most important thing to keep up. Once that armor is down, you can die.
Gattling doesnt suck at all. Where did you really get that from?
The only other armor piercing gun that i think is a bit too strong is the hades in comparison. It not been changed since release and good use of hades is always better than gattling which i think is a troubling sign.
Dutch Vanya:
They actually did buff the hades a bit soon after release. They made it easier to shoot at least.
