Assault gun does 20 damage base, 60 fully upgraded...

Assault cannon does 40 damage base, 130 fully upgraded...

Assault gun may have higher DPS against an unarmored target, but most targets are heavily armored, nullifying its advantage. Plus, Assault cannon has better multipliers against everything except cyborgs and bunkers.

There's a difference between "I don't like it" and "it's useless", mind you...

Well, I do find it pretty useless. Heavy cannon fires just as fast later on and is more powerful =]

I guess, but Twin Assault Cannon really is a lot more powerful than Heavy Cannon, in my testing...

Yeah that was pretty nifty. Almost like a new twin machinegun.

And we have to bear the simple one until we get the double? I say NO!

I want to be able to design using heavy cannon and change when I want. :mad;

Ummm... VTOL propulsion on any body, plus any VTOL weapon, and you use a VTOL Factory in combination with Rearming Pads to make aircraft.

If you build no rearming pads, your aircraft are single-use.
"There is no greater Void than the one between your ears." - Void Ray, StarCraft 2.
Especially the Void between the ears of people who think that No VTOL is a good idea, and won't lead to arty wars. I've won one, and I have to say: I hated it.
