    A ripid fire cannon for htanks for taking out those pesky light tanks. Fires 3-4 times faster than the standard cannon, takes up 3 slots but other than that same as standard cannon.

    I like the idea, but the heat on that thing would be quite insane...

    And this gun sounds alot like the current railgun(Which is quite useless against the right armor type, and I mean 0 effect)

    Hang on. Three slots, three times as fast. Use three cannons?

    But have it weigh only 100 instead of 300, I guess. Maybe put this one in physics?

    railgun does 0 damage to absorbant armor and it seems everyone uses absorbant armor nowadays.

    it could also have low heat out put.


    What about if it fired all three at once, like a shotgun, or atleast: one after another in quick succession?

    Then it would be almost similar to the railgun.. (fast, almost no heat output and takes up 3 slots)

    How about just put in an AP round? 1.5 times the reload time of a Nuke but ignores armer and does enuff damage to kill a LT in one shot? But definetly would need to be a 3x slot weapon.

    Hmmm lets do math.
    AP Round>Kills Light
    +Light NF Tank Health * 2 > Heavy NF Tank Base Health
    +2 AP Rounds > NF Heavy
    -------------------------
    BE Heavy Tanks > All NF

    The fact is, I am fine with the BE heavy.
    Light tanks are fast but they don't take a hit.
    Just learn how to aim and increase the turret sensitivity for speed.
    Then... aim, then fire.

    I personaly think that there should be a cannon that has high power, low reload time but no blast radius, which is what i think the rail gun should be like.
