	The fast firing rate and high mass of the Flail make it great for changing the velocity vector of an enemy fighter or bomber. It is slightly more effective than the Avenger against shields, rated at damage/second. Its low energy consumption rate makes it useful for prolonged engagements. Note, however, that once you have taken out an enemy's shields, switching to another weapon is advised.

	The Flail is fun to use, but its efficiency against waves of bombers is low. I would recommend changing it to Avengers or Prometheus cannons if they are available, simply because your "kills over time" rate is better. If your goal is to defer the arrival of the next bomber wave, give a try to the Flail although it might needlessly elongate the mission or, under some weird circumstances, break it. If you do like using the Flail, increase your primary energy recharge rate as the Flail is not as power-efficient as the Avenger, and you're attacking bombers with it anyway, so having little energy on your engines will not disturb you.

	Great for close-up fighting, it can be a very frustrating experience to continually be hit with this cannon. It is possible to paralyze an opponent with the proper angle of fire, and render them near-helpless to your missile volleys. With almost as much shield damage as the Banshee, it will peel the shields right off of the target, but it is next to useless on hull plating...so be sure to couple it with another weapon.
