    My defender Mk 4 has 30 Defense..... I was contemplating upgrading my speeder to MK 4 with Rare Carronade lvl 5... and realized it did 5 x 30 damage (oO) :eek::eek::eek:
    If my speeder shoots carronade at Defender MK4, will it just do 1 damage?:eek::eek::eek:

    I liked carronade in the very early game combined with cannon. It was wonderful, but later in the game, I was spammed with mortars, so not removed that as it was not possible to go such close.
    Not using carronade, as it won't do any damage to a defender.

    It's about 11% stronger than cannon and 11% weaker than sniper cannon, which is completely unjustified. These are even without considering the defense points. Range, projectile speed is shorter. Plus, the defense points trouble. Still, it is not much stronger than these two cannons. The range is so short that it can be used only in the last resort. I ditched a carronade long ago. But, it has lots of crew training available, if you are not a speeder, then you can easily add crew training for it.

    lol try a maxed out carro with all the projectiles unlocked.. it does a little over 1000 damage at close range to everything except a defender, and slows them so they can't get away. Pretty powerful. And since defenders are slow and can't get away, their weak defense is very much needed for carro defense. It's not for everybody, but it's a fantastic defensive weapon on a shooter, and offensive weapon on a speeder / enforcer.

    I mean at mk 2-3-4 level, not mk 5-6-7 level.

    Pretty much, yeah. I shot a carrot at a Defender with higher defense than my gun's per-pellet damage, and most of the projectiles just bounced off. They didn't even do 1 damage, just nothing happened. One or two of the projectiles still went through and did 1 for some reason I can't explain.

    Of course it's fine at max level, since it's ridiculous damage and debuffs are balanced by it's short range. At mid and low level, though, it's a craponade. It does pretty much no damage to Defenders or Shooters, has no serious debuffs, and has a range that means you will usually only use it against Speeders. Speeders don't have any armor so at least they take damage, but it's not worth using in most matches since Speeder melees don't really happen that often. I had the good fortune of using a carrot in a couple of matches where massive Speeder melees did happen, and it was glorious. It was a useless empty slot in every other match.

    Carronade is a defense weapon, great against speeders enforcers shooters and fixers but you might not want to chase a defender with it! :D
