Channged minigun to M7A on my warden and i'm regretting it

I really like the M7A on my Warden. However only when I am up against something like a Constellation or Caterpillar, even a Valkyrie depending on who is flying it.
Due to the chances of having to take down smaller and faster ships like Cutlasses or other Vanguards, I tend to go for the CF-557 Galdereen as it has a higher rate of fire so for fixed sights there is more chance of a hit landing.
The trouble is that with the current state of gimbals, I tend to fly a ship with gimbals more often as although I love the Warden, it is out-classed by most gimbals ships.
I am sure they will balance it all out whilst they get more feedback from combat.

You can hit large targets easily!
Like asteroids or moons!

I also run with the 557. I find the M7A overheats too much.
The current bug with fixed is annoying, but it still kills most things.

447 if you are going gimballed but the Revanent hits a hair harder.

Gimbal assist was the highlight of 3.5 & 3.6. Whatever they did to get that in-game, totally fucked fixed weapons (and they were pretty broke before, with ESP being all goofy).
Back in 3.4, my Warden with a M7A was fantastic, doing bounties and sniping targets 2500m+ ... now, you could not hit the broad side of an asteroid with one.
Stick with gimbaled weapons for the time being, until you hear that fixed weapons are, uh, fixed.

I like the 788 Combine ballistic canon. Good energy/ballistic mix. That and a couple S3 missiles usually takes down anything that needs killing

The Revenant hits as little harder, unless you run out of ammo alot, I wouldn't bother.

The Revenant is a Ballistic Gattling. The 447 is a cannon--fires much slower.
You can compare them and their stats here. Just load the Hoplite or Warden.
IIRC, what you're calling the "447" the Hardpoint calls the original title, which is the C-788 Ballistic Autocannon. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong here.
The Revenant also has the huge advantage that its projectiles are MUCH faster to target. To shoot faster you have to use a larger weapon. That means shorter leads, and more hits. The down side is it depleats its ammo in half the time of the Autocannon. The huge up side is when you lose your bird you don't need to pay for a gun replacement. Also the Gattling has about 75% greater range.
