The Tank/Cannon is the first of two [[:Category:Heavy Weapons Platforms|HWP]]s available to new [[X-COM]] Commanders. <br />
<br />
The Tank/Cannon carries a cannon that fires powerful [[Weapons#Armour_Piercing|armour-piercing]] rounds. Up to 30 rounds can be loaded for a single mission.<br />
<br />
While it is universally considered to be the least exceptional of all the [[:Category:Heavy Weapons Platforms|HWP]]s, the Tank/Cannon can still surpass the [[Tank/Rocket Launcher]] for ammunition longevity. Particularly when combating [[Cyberdisc]]s. Where a Tank/Rocket Launcher will rapidly deplete its ammo after combating a few of these enemies, the Tank/Cannon will often have ample supplies of ammunition left over to take down several more. <br />
<br />
Unlike the [[Tank/Rocket Launcher]], which can still be useful in later stages of the campaign. This is due to it's ability to be shipped rather than manufactured, which is often quicker than manufacturing one of the alternatives. It is a good option for bolstering a new bases defensive force. However, if the production capabilities exist in the new base then the Tank/Cannon is immediately outclassed by the [[Tank/Laser Cannon]] and the [[Hovertank/Plasma]]. Until then, its main function is to fill in any voids that the [[Tank/Rocket Launcher]] leaves behind or as a defensive option for new bases.<br />
<br />
This weapons system is used in ''[[X-COM|UFO: Enemy Unknown]]''. In ''[[TFTD|Terror from the Deep]]'', the [[Coelacanth/G. Cannon]] is the equivalent.<br />
