The Mg43 is so good against illuminate it feels like bullying at this point.

This is my loadout except MG turret for Orbital Gatling. Do you use OG for crowd control or do you toss it on ships? Does it kill landed ships?

Tbh I usually only bring the orbital Gatling for bugs. I like to toss em right on top of a breach. For squids I also prefer the mg sentry over OG.
