==================== Type: Ship Stats/Balance Bug: Side arcs on the Grendel are lackluster. ====================
With every other frigate tuned up to the specs of the Grendel, the awful sidearcs are way more noticable. Both heavier fire to the sides, that's no problem. But only a single one of the regular guns reach to the side. This wasn't as problematic before the patch, as this appeared to be a drawback in exchange for the multi-role nature of the ship. Every other frigate gets at least 3 guns to the sides, not counting the heavies.
Might not be a bug outright, but this limits the usefulness of the heavy turrets.

Sort of fixed by this ship getting changed somewhat extensively as part of the Gunboat rework. Now has a FWG, a mine slot, some turret changes, all that good stuff.
