GUNS Balance Questions and Concerns v1.2
Mattilald Anguisad:
If you know Zil, he's not only considered heavy carrorade for dealing bamage, but have allready used it for Stripping Armors. The infamous blender galleon for example - it was a hell repairing armor on pyra when being blasted by 2 of them.
RaptorSystems:
If carronade is to be primarily used for armor stripping then that just means it is another 'gat+flak' combo reducing the number of viable mechanics.

The balloons on those ships are so high above the main gun deck that a squid or goldfish can park in the pocket level to the balloon but above the fire arc of non lumberjack medium guns and go to town. It is extreamly difficult to get in position and stay there, but it is possible. I see the nerf as a piloting challenge. I don't particularly like it since in a game of Vets the carronade primary weapon is very rarely a viable strategy, but I can see how newbies would get sick of getting stuffed into the ground with no way of retaliating.

Actually if you have a gat on the top deck of the spire you can still hit whatever is hitting your balloon. I'll have to test out a blender fish on a galleon but I don't expect anything that great from it.

I never said it wasn't a nerf. Really, it's a nerf by any other name; just one that- I think- opens the floor for future improvements in the process.

It's a nerf that makes way for future buffs. How it should be buffed, exactly, must still be determined.
I like the change to carronades. It's definitely a step in the right direction. I'm not sure how else it can be buffed, though, other than possibly tightening the spread or something.
Ofiach:
I don't know what the official word was but maybe the lumberjack is firing differently because of the new ship physics. Changing a shooting platforms movement will change the way anything fired from it feels.
@ Phoebe Imagine shooting a rifle standing still and getting all the ranges and sight marks etc. Now imagine shooting it from a moving boat, your aim is going to be off and you have to relearn the ranges and sight marks. The rifle is still against your shoulder and you're looking down the sight but you're moving differently. (crude analogy but it seemed the easiest to write down)
That's what I'm thinking happened anyway.
