'AC-40' - Autocannon

'AC/40' - Autocannon
Large aero-mounted cannon. Cheap to upgrade, low payload cost, and capable of devastating a variety of targets — but suffers from extreme bullet drop at range as well as a slow reload and fire rate.

Usage
As the only cannon in the game to suffer from significant bullet drop over distance, aiming the A/C40 effectively is more difficult than guns or rockets, but the payoff is high-damage output at low cost. Single hits from the cannon will destroy carrier engines, small Hangars, and neutralize turrets with near-misses. Every other static target succumbs relatively quickly to repeated shots, making the AC/40 a force to be reckoned with.

Its low ammo pool and long reload mean that each shot needs to be aimed carefully to avoid the long wait for ammo to reload.

Something extremely well worth noting is that the AC-40's range stat is slightly false. 1000m is the rough distance at which the projectile will stop hitting its mark anywhere near the reticle (at middling speed anyways). However, the projectile itself can continue flying for over twice that distance before self destructing mid-air, meaning that if a target is within range, it is eligible to be hit.
