2727 12-pounders are the starter caliber. They fit the Stock Ketch and every early-tier hull variant. On heavier hulls they mount on Brig classes as the main battery or on Frigate classes as a secondary.

3131 Tempered cannons reward patience. The 6-second delay gate means a player who fires immediately after reload loses the 40% bonus; the player who holds fire for the full 6 seconds lands a volley that hits 40% harder. In practice this punishes reflexive firing at the opening of an engagement and rewards held volleys timed to the enemy's turn window. Be aware that ships keep moving while you wait, so the delay can cost you a clean angle. Pair it with Naval Tactics I: Ambush (130% damage on the next volley after 2 minutes without dealing or taking damage) for an opening-volley specialist loadout.
