Depends, so no way to answer. IMO current mechanics push you toward using all carronades or all long guns of the heaviest possible caliber. The factors that historically pushed ships to carry more balanced armament don't seem to be present in game, and some game mechanics give more advantage to these extreme loadouts.

Like akd said its situational. A lot of players just fit out with nades because they do so well against bots. If however you like PVP, keep all longs. You will wreck all the guys carrying nades on 5th rates and SOLs

I understand that. That's why I added "mainly" though.

Is there a comparison of damage/penetration/range/reload time between the types?

EDIT 2: It seems to be a bit obsolete

Im not sure if the gun table is still correct.

I think to remember devs said gu characteristics got reworked and are not represented in the gamefils on your computer.

Also devs said the weight of the gun will have much more pronounced effect on the ship (heel, turn, accelerate) (as it should)....

I remember in sea trials i did some tests with empty santi tacking and full santi tacking and differences were quite small (if i remember correctly 8-12 percent)....

It is not.

All longs. Best all purpose, best firing trojectory/easy to aim. If i was to run carros id have long guns in front and back for pvp

To kill bots or SOLS i use all nades with longs bow and stern.  For Pvpv i use all longs. In small ships i use all mediums.
