Titan and me thought about something like broadside siege weapons for heavy battleships, though that would require rebalance for all battleships from all sides.
I disagreed with Titan at the time because those special primaries would have been a horrible and unneeded buff to the Valor, which was the best battleship in the game at the time, and whose FG still had the range of 4.5K and the speed of 900m/s. The FG has been changed and the Valor now has something very similar to what Titan spoke about, albeit with a slightly shorter range. Valor/Marduk primaries with the range of 3.5K, only mountable on heavy battleships, dreadnoughts (excluding Liberty, ofc), juggernauts and heavy carriers, would be alright for me.
Speaking of broadside balancing, however, I don't think it is possible. It would make battleships too easy targets for cruisers, as anti-cruiser combat is frontal and requires strafing and reversing instead.
