==Capital Ship Turrets==

Capital ship turrets have fewer variations than subcapital turrets, however the distinction between their variations is much more significant. Extra-large guns have two sizes of short range turrets, referred to as 'capital' and 'high-angle'. 'Capital' guns are extremely large short-ranged weapons capable of the highest damage output of any ship-mounted turrets, however their size makes them unable to effectively hit any targets smaller than hostile dreadnoughts. They cannot be used against subcapital ships without significant support (such as Target Painters, and the Stasis Webifiers of a Vindicator). 'High-Angle Weapons' or '''HAW'''s are visibly (and by name) comprised of multiple battleship-sized guns mounted as a single turret. HAW gun turrets deal only a fraction of the damage of capital guns, however their tracking is high enough that they can reliably hit hostile subcapital ships even without significant support. ~~HAWs are intended for use on~~ [[Dreadnoughts]], ~~as the Siege Module specifically gives them an additional damage bonus~~.

HAW gun turrets can only be used by [[Dreadnoughts]], and cannot be used at all by [[Titans]].

There is only one capital ship-sized Entropic Disintegrator. It is an anticapital weapon, and like other disintegrators it operates somewhere between the traditional definitions of short and long-ranged.

{{expansion past|

Prior to February 2020, High-Angle Weapons could be used by Titans; and while fitting them to Dreadnoughts significantly increased their damage, fitting them to Titans greatly improved their effective Tracking and accuracy. On 27 February 2020, HAW guns were restricted to only be usable by Dreadnoughts. There was no dev blog or article associated with this change.
