Depends, certainly not until after its been tested well against different ships, but I'd sooner take a Bullfish over Flakfish, possibly support on a galleons brawl side.
However a guns balance is not best checked by if its used in competitive or not, competitive is how you work out the best load outs and counters.

I would take spire or galleon even on open maps.
Dementio:
Heavy Clip Minotaur will wreck in long range, sp Spires and Galleons actually will get shot at less. Junkers and Mobulas will very likely have the most trouble in long range if they cannot destroy the gun quickly enough.
In close range it will very likely not be as effective in long range, but if ignored it will screw up the enemy.
BlackenedPies:
One Minotaur can lock down a ship preventing them from ever shooting. Importantly, it also makes it near impossible to aim precise weapons. I'll test it more later but from what I've seen it's highly effective in the hands of a good gunner. The downward arcs are excessive and I've watched it completely lock down ships on its own.
I don't think it will be used much in competitive because spires are too risky, not effective enough on fish, and it lacks dps for galleons. If it is used in competitive I suspect it will be seen on a Galleon in tandem with other weapons.

Exactly what I wanted to say... I think minotaur is more effective in long range than in short. You will have hard time play a snipe battle if enemy has minotaur on you. I agree, mobula will have hard time with this as well as other ships.
