The same scenario would happen if you were flying on a wyvern into a base on land with turrets. Your wyvern would die in seconds.
Heavy turrets have nearly 4x the DPS of normal turrets. S+ heavy turrets are the same DPS as vanilla heavy turrets, it just has more options. I guarantee you weren't 'one shotted' as it takes more than 1 bullet to kill a 50k hp squid. But if you approach a defended area with 50 turrets, you're talking 100 bullets a second give or take.
Your gripe is with Ark devs if you don't like heavy turrets. Ark devs added the special turret with their turret limit rules on official servers as a way to take down stronger dinos (like squids and mosas). Moving forward I would advise you to be more careful in the water. You wouldn't charge headfirst into someones base on land would you? Underwater should be no different. Also, underwater in Ark has notoriously been much more dangerous than land Ark ever has been in the entire history of Ark as a game.
