Is whaling viable?

Ashunera:
Harpoon is largely useless, but I played a bit ago, my spire had a hwacha and 3 harpoons. Just for fun. Had some cakes, was a 3 on 3, we got 2 harpoon kills and a few hwacha kills. Granted the other team was underdog by a mile but still, was one of the most entertaining matches I've done

Doesn't hold a candle to the other night when I had sleep delerium (playing for 6 hours, twas 2AM) and had two crew members who were... quite drunk. The only coherent crew member decided it would be entertaining to have us on a 4 gunner, 5 flare gun mobula. THAT was entertaining.

But yeah, Harpoon == terrible but when you manage to use it effectively, it is quite funny.

Daft Loon:
There is also the fun of landing a harpoon on the rear engine of a goldfish. "Nope no arcs for you"

Kamoba:
Harpooning can be effective, but you must have good coordination between the harpoon gunner and pilot, the gunner also needs to understand the enemy ships center of gravity and where to target to make the harpoon most effective.

Providing a similar niche as minotaur but at close range. :)

Elazul:
Harpoon is demonstrably the worst weapon in the game and you handicap yourself by taking it. The one upside is if you do win with harpoon you know you significantly outplayed your opponents.

Kamoba:
The harpoon is not the worst weapon in the game...
Loch loaded Gat has that title. At least loch harpoon is slightly effective.
