SUM UP: 3 Ideas

More ammo: the cannon should have 1 more cannonball but the cannon should weigh heavier,

Place Location: The cannon should be able to be placed like the flame thrower or even possibly added inside a Wooden block by 1,
>if the ammo idea is added inside cannon have 1 less cannonball,
>If also possible ability to place it inside should be a button,

Explosive ammo: the cannon should have an HE round option that explodes and is able to disable/destroy 1 brick tile,
> The HE round should be heavier than a regular cannonball,
> If the ammo idea option is added this should also have 1 less cannonball,

Thanks for reading,

Ehh... i have this gut feeling that cannons will be very controversial issue sooner or later.

You know, devs stated that they don't want to make cannons too powerful, because then making siege machines would make no sense (much like happened in real life with cannons and catapults)
On the other hand there is massive feedback from users to improve cannons in terms of power, size, range, recoil, reloadablitiy, ammo types (and probably few other).

So those are rather contradict points - i wonder how it will turn out.

Well this is why i added the idea of them weighing more.
It balances things out like an Incendiary Grenade in BF4 shoot fire everywhere sure- but it weighs more.
Sorry if im making really bad examples or points but so far these cannons are "pea shooters" and you'd have better luck attaching a flamethrower since 80% of infantry charge you.
i just see the cannons right now as heavy weight, under-powered, and they rather cause more pain than they should just for a simplistic shot.
sorry for the run on's- but all i really care about is an HE round type of ammo, one that wouldnt have an explosion radius like the bomb but it'd be a tad bigger than the original cannonball.
also Possibly changing the cannons placement since most of the time the placement seems to bug me or take a block with it.
And thank you for reading'
