STRENGTHS
  • Variable ammunition load: The number of different munitions this weapon can fire gives it good flexibility, and it is very effective when used with mixed ammunition belts.
  • Thump thump thump: The weapon’s high rate of fire and decent shell size allows it to shred LAVs and infantry, and even lets it break fortifications through repeated damage against a small area.
WEAKNESSES
  • Blunt: The small bore of the rounds it fires are lacking in armour penetration compared to larger cannons
