Heavy Weapon Suggestions

Maybe if it had a crazy amount of recoil, enough to exert force on the ship pushing it backwards or turning it so that other precision weapons would need a second to compensate.

I developed an airship around a weapon like this in the VN. If it ever gets released someday, it might be in it pending it doesn't get changed. Has had some revisions to it already. Literally the boat is built around a cannon that sits on a rail within the hull. When it fires, it rocks back on the rail. If it didn't have that function, the shock would tear the vessel apart. Requires it's own gun crew to reset it's position after firing and reload. So you'd qualify this as not a heavy mount but a step above that. Extreme long range weapon. Boss ship type vessel.
Developed a few other experimental ships and weapons. Sky Torpedo being the only other real notable one which has threads here that I used to develop the concept before working it into one of the stories. If you just sit around and think what kind of fun toys people of this world would come up with, then consider it came from a WWI style world...the ideas...just fantastic.
Dementio:
Why not a heavy "piercing" damage close range gun instead of that long range rubbish.
A gun that sends out multiple projectiles in an arc and spread similar to the mortar, which all do pure piercing damage.
Or a gun that sends out a literal explosion that can possibly push enemies away.
It would at least get rid of the basic hwacha/carro side on Galleons an make for a silly ramming Goldfish.

Ooh... DO WANT. Even if just to see it in VN form.
Bronzium, that was a horrible pun. I recoiled from my screen!
Zirilfer, I do like that idea, but there are balance concerns. Maybe give it reload time on par with the Hwacha, one ammo, change the pierce to shatter/explosive...
Dementio, I was worried that a close range heavy would take the place of the Carro but screw it.
To refine your suggestions...
Tempest Heavy Steam Thrower: MAJOR knockback, flamer style, deals small pierce and shatter damage. Almost a dust cloud flamer. Short range of effect, massive spread/AoE so it hits almost everywhere on a ship.
Pilum Heavy Spiker: 1shot, medium reload speed, pure piercing damage. Sends out a cloud of spiked metal spikes that deal huge piercing damage, and then drags it in. Idea is that you fire to take down armor and then rush in while they're being dragged and ram 'em.
Some kind of automatic piercing shotgun weapon, I don't know.
ShadedExalt:
Google'd the Skypedo and it sounds awesome. Maybe combine it with Zirilfer's idea?
Crafeksterty:
Jupiter field cannon sounds awesome actually. I support this.
Kinda want a heavy weapon that a goldfish would use though, the goldfish doesnt use the heavy flak. This one seems like another one. More use to it than the heavy flak i must say.
The one after that is called hwacha.
But yeah, jupiter field cannon sounds ballers. May be super powerfull on a spire and a galleon.
I mean. A spire with Jupiter, Mercury + 2 artemis or Light flaks = quick death.
Or a galleon with Jupiter and Mercury and a heavy flak.
So in this case, the jupiter needs some specifics that doesnt make it too powerfull. Like a long-ish arming time. Or long reload. Arcs... something.
