My favorite combo is flamethrower and heatsink.

More ammo, better turning. Also, if you can flame them, they can flame you. Put you ahead in those flame v. flame battles.

Burst Hwacha.

Nothing quite as satisfying as shooting a hwacha and knocking out all the components.

Going by ships:

Pyramidion: Gatling with heavy and greased. Artemis with burst. Banshee with greased.
But I really enjoyed experimenting Artemis with Lesmok and burst with a gunner on front right, front left a Hades with Lesmok or Greased depending on how well the gunner thinks they can shoot it third gun Artemis Burst. Trifecta disable which keeps the Hades shooting and if your Artemis gunners are good then you should find repairs few and far between.

Spire: Loch merc  (sometimes charged depending who is shooting) with loch H-flak. Flare with heat sink for utility. Gatling with heavy. Aim the ship right and ensure your gunners know what they're doing and it can be very rewarding.

Lesmok Gatling gun.
With most people taking greased for the increased DPS, lesmok significantly increases the range over what most people consider standard Gatling range. The turn arcs on the other hull stripping guns Hadies and Merc are too small to reasonably set up trifectas but the gat can do it.

I like lesmok gats on the broadside ships like the galleon and junker. These ships can't control distance and are vulnerable to being kited, so having range advantage on your brawler weapons is a major plus. Also since these ships put light weapons in the hands of engineers I like them to know that missing a reload will not adversely effect the dps of the ship. In fact as the enemy gets in range swapping to vanilla ammo will increase DPS.

Oh way too many to pick from. Loch mines, lesmok mines, burst lumberjack, heavy carro, heatsink hellhound, heavy hwacha, loch harpoon, burst artemis, burst flamer, greased flamer, greased hades, charged merc, heavy beacon, heatsink beacon, loch typhon. Anything but a gat, mortar or flak really, and maybe the banshee, I guess I'm meh on the banshee.

If I had to pick one, it would be lesmok mines, because I'm like evil Santa and want maximum present delivery range.

Lochnagar on gatling or flamer. All that build-up during the reload time for literally no damage output is always hilarious to witness.

Lesmok harpoons. Dat accuracy, can even snipe ships at >500m (totally useful no matter what).

Incendiary carronade. Nobody knows how many fire stacks it actually does and even more underestimate it.

Lochnagar Carronade.

Makes engineers cry-no matter how good at repairs you are, you will *never* be fast enough. Takes out hulls! Kills guns! Kills perma! There's nothing it can't do!
