If you want some numbers I'd recommend checking out the llamatron: https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php?topic=5621.0 It should be updated with correct values for the latest patch as far as I know.

Now I'm no expert at minotaur and I bet you're gonna get much better advice from someone like Richard or Blackened, but using buffed heavy mino to destroy heavy guns in one shot works, and greased still dominates in close range. At least in my limited experienced with mino.

Llamatron! http://ducksoficarus.servegame.com/

Minotaur does 180 armor and 468 component damage per shot. Loch does 405 armor damage which can break a squid, goldfish, or spire. It's good against heavy guns at closer range with good aim. Heavy clip is good and can often break heavy guns in two shots at mid range. Your primary ammo on taur is heavy which is the best for control and reliable damage

For gunner I'd go with heavy, loch, and heatsink. Greased is good for close range but it reduces the already slow turning speed. For pushing you'll mostly be using heavy clip. Greased and heatsink are only for close range and have little control over 300m besides bumping them away. With heavy clip and a good gunner you choose where they point

Don't overlook Charged. It can one-shot any gun at close range, and two-shot most ship armors. All without too much shoving around in those situations you don't want your target to move much.

In general greased is better than charged due to its higher dps and dpc. Charged has high damage per shot but it's also 4.04 seconds between shots

I know that, but greased will often mess up the angles or distance of the target for your gunners. There have been quite a few times where greased Mino has turned a helpless ship's guns back on me, or pushed a ship just out of range or arc. If you want damage with more control, Charged is the way to go.

Fish can be killed in two shots.

Buff loch mercury will strip buffed fish armour one shot.

Buffed loch h-flak will kill all fish hull.

Loch flak does 1039 dmg and fish has 1100 hull. As long as you don't hit any components the fish is essentially dead. I experimented with a gat taur flak galleon and it's tricky against fish. You need heavy clip taur to knock them around and damage armor while the gat breaks it. Getting hit by a hwatcha screws the plan. You could try an artemis top but you're much better off with hwatcha taur

My default brawl galleon is banshee taur hwatcha (right carro hwatcha) which is great against fish. The buffed taur and banshee disrupt at range until the hwatcha is ready. Buffed heavy clip taur deals 650 armor damage per clip, buffed burst hwatcha 475, and greased banshee 220. Weak armoured ships like goldfish are quickly broken and hurt by the combined armor and hull damage
