I would say flack. PBE have crap for range and take forever to eat the hull of the m3-m3+ ships. Also against m6 ships they take 2 long to kill it. Flack can sometimes be 2 slow to hit m5 ships, but honestly they cant really hurt you much.

[Central Scrutinizer]

Yup, Flaks. Maybe toss in a few PBEs here and there for taking out M5s...but I would mostly go with Flaks.

Stick to all Flaks, don't worry about the M5s, their attacks are like mosquito bites compared to M1 shield capability.

They'll get destroyed sooner or later w/ all the Flak rounds blasting around.

BPBEs paired with BPACs works fairly well on the Front/back turrets on the argon capitals. the BPEs will be shooting empty space alot but when something wanders into range it gets hit hard.

I also like like going 50/50 AHEPT/AFLAK on the L/R turrets. Gets the FLAKs fireing early and what's been slowed down by those FLAKS gets finished off with the plasma throwers. As an added plus in Xenon sectors you'll be left with more empty ships waiting for pickup after the fight is over.

In my experience, mixing turrets just wastes a ton of energy for very little reward. The short range weapons fire along with the longer ranged weapons and just pour your laser energy into empty space.

Most M2/M1 ships have the weapon energy to burn on this sort of thing. Well maybe not the boron but that's a different story.

AFLAKs and BPBEs have a fairly short range and fitted to a rather big ship. By getting the guns to fire early you maximize the damage delt in the time that fighter is inrange of all guns in the bank.

FLAKs and PBEs are effective somewhat beyond the range they will fire at on their own as well.
