Sniper Canon or explosive Canon

Hey Folks,
At the same level, Sniper cannon or explosive canon on a defender. Also, what perks on the explosive cannon?
Thanks!

 

Explosive cannon! It has awesome splash damage for when you're cornered and 2 or more people are attacking you, plus it also has more damage than sniper cannon, but you might have to lead your shots.

Thanks for the post. What perks would be beneficial for the explosive cannon?

 

maybe increased damage?

 

explosive canon. Defenders are not long range fighters. They are mid range fighters. Sniper canons are for long range. Explosive canon damages multiple targets with splash damage and does massive point damage to one target. If you can learn to use it right by leading your shots, you are in business.

I am currently working on one for my defender in fact.

As far as perks, go with canon damage perks. You want it to hit as hard as you can get it to hit consistently.

 

P0rthos,
Thank you very much for your post! It is greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone else as well.

 

Explosive cannon is better for Defender ship. Basically you'll be fighting in close ranges and splash damage of Explosive cannon is very helpful.

Don't use auto aim. Try to adjust your shot a bit ahead of the moving target ship.

Perk --> increased damage is good.

 

Hijack topic initiate!
Should i use blast cannon or sniper cannon for enforcer?

 

I personally prefer Sniper cannon on my Enforcer mk2 because of its insane range (along with Long range mortar).

If you like close assault battles, then go for Blast cannon. Its splash damage will be very useful. (imo)
