No Tanks are already Too good againts infantry.
Adding HE ammo (highly-explosive) would be overkill

I like the concept; should be better against fortifications rather than armour. As for the concern in the above comment, perhaps HE should have a longer, if not doubled reload time.

Tanks aren’t for use against forts they are made to control while attacking fort cannons. Build ground cannons to fight the fort plus heavy tanks 1 shout 57mm with good aim. Tanks are far too bulky the reason the big howitsers get them is because they are immobile and cost more to fire than tanks

"tanks are already too good against infantry"

Gotta love shooting a tank MG for 7 mins straight at the banner while a single enemy is twerking due to overhealing the damage with just food

"Tanks one shot 57mm"

They only do that when the cannon is exposed fully, which is only when u dont know how to build a fort. Everyone builds the most obstructed cannons that look awful which take like 10 or so hits to destroy

Albatross this is to counter the overkill advantage of the fort. not to use it as an IFV.

Ashes i agree in it a bit but making it last longer isnt the best if you have 15 randoms shelling your tank with AP.

Tanks 1 shot 57mm i agree but which side can imidietly get a new weapon after getting destroyed in 10 seconds. the heavytanks is a desperate attempt and a stopgap thingy for the cannons overpower.

as lordsrubka said cannons especially livland made it look horrible. it looked like he it had cancerious tumours. what i think should get added is when your cannon you are operating you cannot place blocks for even up to a minute. sounds harsh but right now at livland we was about 6 heavytanks needing to counter the overpowered shells shooting at the banner.

and the tank mg needs a rework lmao. only thing its semi good at which the ifv is better is killing horses.

Well tank mg isn’t powerful enough to be used and ifvs are squishy. He shells one shot people. Plus if they do not one shot someone the cannon blowing up will. HE if on the big howitsers to keep them in the Meta and to be useful

One shell may not kill you, but yall are well aware of what happened last siege. People got hit by several shells at the same time killing many at the banner. I clipped myself getting hit and need to check if they bypass damage immunity which they most likely do.

Not saying cannons should not deal damage to players, but at least let the damage be done by the anti infantry ammo

Omfg raptor did you read at all. the HE shell shouldnt be against freaking guys at banner but cannon men who are protected with a whole fort not taking any damage hiding in a corner. not against infantry. the HE shells dont one shot idk what you are yapping. the cannon damage explosion with full prot iv is about 2-3 hearts i belive.

Lordsrubka it was Armour piercing which does very unfair damage after the charge is detonated. it deals quite a lot. they deal about 18 hearts as i usually survive with 2 in my counters. thats only one.

idk how is cannon damage relevant right now as we are talking about a counter or a fast stopgap desition until further nerfs for fort cannons.

No, yall are delusional. Any type of shell does 2-3 hearts usually and then at random or very precise direct hits they do quite a lot more. There have been many one taps with default shells. There have been many one shots with AP. There has been many one shots with Incendiary. Every type of shell does the same thing its just that players believe differently cause they are more consistent with specific ones due to luck and frequency of usage that is lead by myths

And as oliver said, his opinion is that each shell should serve its own purpose, and those shells purpose is not anti infantry

ermmmm. lordsrubka idk if you have experienced being shelled by 5 UKR cannoneers while in banner. with no cover.

Lordskruba cannons are used like this by coalition and alliance

Plus cannons are for ground control not drilling if you want to drill use large 240s or howitsers

And I was going down to 3 hearts because of heavy tank shells he shells do a ton more damage and would become the meta

I never complained about a specific side abusing them, just stated the fact that I feel like things on ccnet no longer serve their intended purpose. If thats the path they want to take then remove canister shells and redo the descriptions of everything

And you do not need to state the obvious. Of course the 57mm are for ground control when they are the only cannon that can aim downwards from the wall since it has twice the depression compared the other cannons and of course the other two are used for drilling when they are the only ones that can be used in the wild. Not sure what you were trying to prove there

As for the heavy tank shells, you are more than welcome to state your concern to the staff about them doing more damage than the anti infantry tank MGs

Canister shot still gets used but because of the large rebuff and physics rework for it it is too slow and doesn’t do enough damage

Whoever uses canister in 2024 march is a dummy ❌️❌️🧠🧠

I use it to kill horses on the walls of livland
