Class 4 gimballed cannons are pathetically stupid- why?

None of this advice is going to help because the class 4 gimballed cannon is bugged.
You will have to get the fixed cannon or the plasma accelerator instead.

Thought it must be. Alright, I guess, although I really don't want to... guess I will. Are the gimballed class 3 pulse lasers capable of aiming?

C3 gimballed frags (hahaha yes i did try them) also have this bug, their aimer was so wild even at 500m you couldn't hit anything - it was like they enemy had launched chaff 100% of the time, and I have A sensors.

Yeah I tried those too, they couldn't hit the side of a planet from a foot away. Terrible.

Gimballed weapons used to work as intended, then during Alpha people moaned "Waaa, Gimballed weapons keep killing me they are overpowered" and I tried posting "NOOO don't mess with gimballed weapons they are fine they are supposed to be better" ... but no, people don't listen to me and now gimballed weapons are next to useless.

Class 1 and class 2 gimballed weapons work fine, which is the problem. Only large and huge gimballed weapons are totally incapable of even attempting to aim.
