It will cause much less havoc than the new flame but has the advantage of a very short empty time (greased) and much higher hull dps as well as increased range. I wouldn't recommend as the main side on hwatcha fish only blender and possibly lumber. Btw banshee is a raycast gun.

I've seen it used to great effect as the pilot gun on spire for mid and close range. A classic brawl spire loadout is gat banshee top. Banshee can be used at longer range then greased gat while pilot hops on banshee.

Squidslinger Gilder:
Yeah I got a friend of mine to switch his fish to side Shee from flame and he's liked it a bit more. He misses the old flame sure but having more kill power helps.

Lieutenant Noir:
You can still use it as a main side gun on the hwatcha but it depends on your playstyle.
If I see an ally playing ranged, I play ranged by landing a Heavy clip hwatcha volley and then spraying a few banshees to pick up any excess red crosses and start any fires on freshly rebuilt hull.
I do this so I don't get in front of his arcs and in case any other enemy ship tries to sneak up on him, I'll counter them.

Also at close range I usually have something to strip armor on the other side like a greased Carronade or Gatling (I prefer carronade since new players don't know how to hit hull Q_Q). The banshee doesn't add as much fire as a flamer and so not very useful in armor break/ disable but is useful for hull break. At close range, once I see armor break on carronade shots, I switch over to the banshee. The non-chemed armor will set on fire to ensure it stays down, while hull break on both guns work their magic.

I don't know, some people like to have just flamer and gatling so you have double armor strip and kill with Hwatcha. Probably just my weird passive aggresive playstyle and having to have a Difecta with everything....
Play with what works and experiment with everything, your playstyle will tell you what feels right. I'm sure a banshee will impress you just when you least expect it.

GreyTea:
Double shee gat Pyra trifector  ;). Like the hades double art trifector but for closer range and you can also use it on the side of Carronade flamer Pyras. The arc and quick rof make it perfect.

Squidslinger Gilder:
Still can't get a ranged heavy clip hwacha to do a lick of good now since the change. I use burst. Just wait longer before firing. Does a lot more than heavy does. But yeah, old routine was heavy clip ranged then switch to burst close.

Grey that works as long as the Pyra doesn't fold up before it gets the trifecta. Zomg I got another gat kill the other day on a Pyra. Used to be rare or it would happen when under fire from 2 ships. Lots of damage and all. Now...picking away, getting ready to turn for mortar arc...nope, gat kill. Moving on. Granted it was weak at the time but we unloaded a few clips in it while it was taring to prevent my attack angle.

It wouldn't be so bad if the poor thing could turn like it used to back in classic days. Then weak hull + adequate turning would be a good combo in an experienced pilot's hands. Actually give me a good fight like Brick used to. Even with stamina they are like galleons but without the broadside to watch for. See that is where a good galleon pilot can get a squid. Just use the squid's speed against it. Eventually it will have to slip through a gun arc. I'll often save some evasion to do just that to mitigate the potential dmg. Better to get hit by a few rockets than a whole clip. Vet gunners are rough because they watch for it and even a couple of rockets could cripple with their placement. But its just a risk that sometimes has to be taken if a galleon pilot tries to tango with a squid.
