Why Blast Cannon?

Why is it that speeders at higher lvls rock bc? They have two slot slot points, so why not ec?
Here are the stats...
BC________EX
cd 11.1__________12.2
range 23.1_______26.3
prospd 21.6______18.0
dps 65________ 57
R 0____________ 2
So why BC? Are there more perks on the talent tree?
@Captain Gilligan ? You use EC, what do you think?

 

Well I use Big Torpedo, so I only have one other weapon pt, which goes towards Blast Cannon.
I assume you are talking about speeders that go Sniper Cannon and Blast, or Flare Gun and Blast? To answer your question, I have no idea lol, other than it may come down to what weapons they have at max level ?

 

Because the damage after training and leveling up is insane.

 

So its the training...

 

You can pick up 40% before hitting Bhurt 4.

 

I love doing that with my turbo, nitro, ob, 400+ (With 33% crit) grenade, and 800+ t3 uncommon big torp. When the shooters all have their backs turned, and don't have gear-lube. LOL

 

Click, click Boom!!

 

Currently doing 1400 with my T3 rare torpedo on frosted targets, then another 550 with my rare Blast cannon on my mk4 speeder.
I 1-shot any speeders I manage to hit, and takes two fly-bys to kill most of the mk5 shooters I vs. Pretty deadly Keen to unlock T4 crew training for my Big Torp

 

That's why as a fixer I am usually pointed diagonally while periodically looking backwards and at the mini-map. If any speeder comes, I usually see it. but the question is whether my teammates listen to my call. I also have a tier 4 rare blast that does 739 damage per pop, if any finishing blow is needed.

 

This is my loadout currently
And that's at lvl 22 on bhurt. Personally I would go explosive cannon all the way if you have the slots for it. I would MUCH rather prefer going explosive cannon + flare gun than blast cannon + flare gun.
The splash damage on the explosive cannon makes you really think about how to use the weapon to its full potential! And I have found myself to be way more confident in being an assasin ship while using the cannon. But in my case, who wouldn't use the legendary item

 

I guess that no one said, but the bcannon cost only one slot point and the XCannon two points.
Using only one point, the bcannon does an amazing damage but don't have the area damage of the XCannon.

 

Am mk4 speeder rocking two BCs - t3R - 27 and t1E - 10. Tried playing EC but i find BC much better personally. Maybe coz BC does more damage than EC at same level and with speeder that difference of range is almost negligible.

 

The XCannon only shines on later Bhurt levels.

 

Once you hit t4 ex cannon is the way to go for sure as long as you have the slot points and duplicates to upgrade it. That's when you get the good ex cannon trainings and it's 2 slot points for a reason. You fire it into a group of people packed around a fixer and you can do 3k damage right there

 

One problem with the Explosive Cannon is that if you're fighting two ships and you stun one to attack the other. If they are close you'll remove your own stun, and probably die.

I'm currently looking for a good 2nd weapon for my speeder. Explosive Cannon is tempting, and probably worth it, but it doesn't play well with stun.
