Probably a bad idea but..

This attached to a balloon and filled with high explosives for when the ammo runs out. Heavy mine turret. Enough said.

Load the gunner into the gun, launch him into his own floating turret, which when destroyed or out of ammo, he respawns on ship (like when falling off.)

Yes my idea is poor, but it would be fun to shoot gunners off the ship!

Not to mention unlimited horizontal arcs!

I like this idea!

Did somebody say... load the gunner into the gun?

See, it even looks like it was meant to be.

Well I was thinking of something more modest. A single shot, big brother version of the heavy flak.
- 5 degrees horizontal arc total, 10 deg vertical
- arming distance of 1200M otherwise only 20% damage inflicted
- Lochnagar + buff can destroy a naked galleon in one hit
- Projectile speed and trajectory similar to the Mercury field gun projectile.
- 10 second reload time

Basically a snipers wet dream. Might make the mino more useful tho.
