sniper cannon inadequate.

I use a rare crit chance perk so I can have crit chance of 20%. However, I also use two epic crit damage perks and one epic "Chill" Cannon Damage. I have a t4 sniper and it hits for roughly 500 a shot. The crits are absolutely insane though. IT isn't inadequate, you just have to know what setup you like with your perks.

 

Does more than that to people on fire with the right perks. My epic EC does 2.2k to burners. Crits for 3.1k+. I'm pretty sure you can get blast to roughly the same numbers if not higher.

 

I think EC stays around 400 damage higher than BC and of course it has Aoe damage and slightly better speed and range

At work, can't check numbers. Please double check projectile speed, I'm pretty sure BC has better projectile speed than EC.

 

You are correct. Mine show same range also, I guess it’s been so long since I looked it’s the same

 

My Epic Blast cannon is set at 2 epic dmg to burning & 8.5% crit chance. 2494 dmg when target burning & crit. activates.
Guy had 36 in shield defense though so damage would've been higher.

 

What's the % rate of your crit?

 

I hate anything with a high projectile speed, unless I can time my trusty nitros just right

So sniper is a speeder's 3rd worst enemy, frost being 2nd and railgun being #1

My ex cannon is basically Saitama to those shields

Just wreck it in one shot

 

I was just talking about the base damage without additional fire perks.

But either who blast and explosive cannon can utilise additional fire damage the most unlike the sniper.

 

Well... Honestly, I hate sniper cannon =)
Because of it's crazy range. I can not even see the enemy, but Boom! and I lost 1500-1700 hp. That makes me mad sometimes =)
As for the rest of the cannons, I decided to train all crew skills for blast cannon. Don't like explosive, bc it's toooo slow (both cooldown and projectile speed). So I'm happy with what I have now. And, to be totally honest, I do not use explosive cannon much... I like my setup with 2 blast, 2 swift and one big torp =)

 

Ouch... This sniper just hit me for something like 2200 dmg...

 

I regularly get hit from invisible boats for 1400 damage from single Sniper shots. It's more than I can get out of my Rare T5 BC, Legendary L10 BC, or Epic T4 ExC unless they happen to crit themselves.

 

Perfection exists only in the mind of Allah.

 

Nobody's perfect.... except the Shark. The ultimate killing machine.

 

The Sniper Cannon doesn't have to be a weapon for randomly dealing damage. It can be good for taking out an almost-dead unfriend fleeing the battle, or for making first contact with the unfriends when none of your other weapons have the range to be useful yet. It also lets Fixers deal occasional damage without getting in the middle of the battle.
I would agree that the Sniper Cannon is best with another weapon (such as a Torpedo), but it can still be incredibly useful for those who like to stay away from the thick of combat.

That's not an especially long cooldown. The only weapons with significantly shorter cooldowns than that are Cannons and Carronades. Most weapons have a cooldown between 10-13 seconds. The Sniper Cannon's isn't short, but it's not unusual either.
