Questions about the GUNNER
RearAdmiralZill:
Lochnager is a very good ammo, when used properly. As said, its best on low clip size, heavy guns like the Heavy flak and Carronade, maybe Lumberjack too but never tried that yet. It requires a steady hand at the helm, and a proper aim of the gunner. The communication between the two must be spot on. If done right, it can kill-shot a lot of otherwise long drawn out fights that could turn the tide in the enemy's favor.
Heatsink used to be a requirement due to flamethrowers instantly disabling guns. Now its more of a filler or "just-in-case" ammo. Also, if your enemy goes all flamers, you can laugh at them when you blow them up with it.
Incendiary is good in only a few spots. As Sunderland stated, its a viable option for guns with arming times to effectively shorten them. Its also goos for high clip weapons that have the potential to set many fires. This includes Gatling and Hwacha.
N-Sunderland:
I've merged the "ammo" thread into this one, since it pertains to the topic. I should have been a bit quicker, since now Helmic's reply below seems out of place.
EDIT: If anybody's wondering why all the messages from the ammo thread say I edited them, it's because I was an idiot and forgot to make it change their subject automatically, so I had to do it manually.
Helmic:
You are screwed, but as a gunner you can't do much to compensate, you really don't have much choice except to do your own job and hope they get the hang of theirs. Engineers can make excellent gunners, not quite so much the other way around. If you're flying with such a crew, it's just better to switch to engineer.

Do burst rounds increase the AoE of all weapons, or just explosive damage?

It increases the AoE in general, I'm quite certain. I don't think that any of the rounds have boosts limited to specific damage types.
