I hope to get some for myself someday. Before I was using Medium Bunes in SP and my naval tactics consisted of charging the enemy and taking it straigt to them. Great for XP, and the CAI doesn't prefer the right ships to counter it or the BAI doesn't know how to keep smaller faster ships away from them. I did end up losing my main admiral and most of my fleet once though, not quite sure why. Then in MP I discovered how great Matchlock Kobayas are, take five of those and have them circle along the enemy at length and they can really do damage. Ever since I discovered them my win rate has been 100% against foes without Cannon Bunes and 0% against foes with them.
