It would be nice for there to be a mid grade option though, a reliable 10 OP HE weapon with decent accuracy akin to a scaled up LAG. I wouldn't care if it were 700 or 800 range but something accurate enough to target mobile ships and hit the same spot of armor twice would be nice.
But you do bring up another good point for a new weapon. Currently the only reliable medium HE is the Mauler, and that's an elite weapon. Feels wrong.
That's my only gripe, no efficient turreted M option against flanking agile enemies.
Medium ballistics in general have such specialised HE guns it really feels to me there's something missing. And before anyone again mentions "you have missiles to fill that role", I'll point out the energy weapons that have a lot of anti armour options in medium mounts.
Not that many, M energy has phase lance and heavy blaster(+mining blaster, if you are feeling generous).
