notes:
-clip times are assuming 'idiot mode' without any repairs for the sake of simplicity and getting a general ballpark
-gatling and sometimes flamethrower can survive emptying their full clip by 1 shots worth of damage

Speculation:
Where to even start, except the flamethrower everything seems broken.

An idea:
Increase self damage to say 120% per clip but give the first shot a 'discount' so it takes only 50% (= 60% per clip for 1 shot weapons), it would dial back the multi shot weapons a little and restore the heavy carronade somewhat.

DJ Logicalia:
ZanC's idea is give loch -50% RoF, which I agree with. Additionally, we could just revert the loch changes, since I'm not really sure what the point of it was

DrTentacles:
Please revert loch changes. I want to fly carrofish.

I'm somewhat biased against that on the basis of the loch minotaur which i love. It would take 12 seconds between shots and strangely become better to just reload in some cases. Though admittedly thats what it was before too.

It still exists, but in the form of loch Light carronade(close range popping and disables) and loch Lumberfish (close range high popping power)
