The strength of this weapon lies in its versatility; where the full-auto mode works decently against infantry, close aircraft and other vehicles up close, the overload wave adds more (splash) damage and is perfectly accurate which allows for burst and makes its effective range much larger. The downside of the latter is that you lose close-range power (since your windup time resets) and you need a reasonably skilled gunner to operate this weapon effectively in both situations. So yes, it is very powerful but user-unfriendly since you cannot rely on pubs like you can with the Saron. While it is far inferior to the TR Vulcan in close range, the versatility makes up for this and I believe this is a powerful alternative to the Saron, but not an overpowered one.
