The screen shakes but the weapon is still perfectly accurate. It doesn't actually shake your ship.

I don't get the comment about Maxims and Tempests in combination. Both are biased towards hull damage, this would be rather horrid against shielded targets.

It depends on what you're fighting. The Tempests do reasonable shield damage on their own and the combo is surprisingly effective on fighters that don't have a quad primary bank. A Prometheus/Tempest or Kayser/Tempest setup is still better against Shivan fighters, while this Maxim/Tempest setup can work better against Terran or Vasudan fighters if you use it properly. I only started using it regularly a few years ago but found it very effective in several multiplayer co-op missions, with my kill counts going up dramatically.

i realize that, but fine adjustments aiming is essentially impossible at long range with sustained fire.

It really is, use the mouse on low sensitivity..

If I have a lot of time sometimes I switch to target orbit view, fire off a few range finding shots and then set movement controls to ship and adjust. 's fun sniping turrets and stuff.
