Are AP Cannons underpowered?
|
|
For the longest time I gimped myself against infantry to mainline the Titan-150 AP cannon on my Vanguard. I thought I was setting myself up to maximize my anti vehicle capabilities.
But then VR came out and I did a more thorough test of the Titans:
AP: 6 Direct hits to kill a Prowler from the front.
HEAT: 6 Direct hits to kill a Prowler from the front.
The HEAT cannon has the added benefit of secondary damage to whoever repairs the tank.
Similar testing on other vehicles resulted in identical TTKs regardless of whether I used the AP or HEAT cannon.
So I guess my question is... why should anyone ever use AP tank weapons? The difference in velocity isn't significant, or frankly noticeable except in the strictest testing parameters.
I'll be changing my certs over to the Titan HEAT Cannon asap.
As for fixing the AP cannons... perhaps a significantly higher velocity and a damage boost.
NOTE: I only really tested the Vanguard cannons, I was a little too pissed off to test the other two MBTs or the Lightning.
