Heavy Carronade

The Heavy Carronade is a heavy weapon and the largest variant of Carronade.

Overview
The Heavy Carronade deals incredible burst damage, and is likely to cause potent fires. Its range disadvantage is not quite as severe as with the lighter versions, but it still has very low velocity.

It still has short range though, and you may find yourself in trouble if enemy vessels attempt to bombard you at a distance with longer ranged weapons.
