[[Image:BIGOBS40.GIF|right|framed|Tank Turret]]
The Tank/Cannon is the first of two [[:Category:Heavy Weapons Platforms|HWP]]s available to new [[X-COM]] Commanders.

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.

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.

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.

This weapons system is used in ''[[X-COM|UFO: Enemy Unknown]]''. In ''[[TFTD|Terror from the Deep]]'', the [[Coelacanth/G. Cannon]] is the equivalent.

==Introduction==
I have made thousands of edits on wikipedia's such as The Vault, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Dragon Age: Origins, etc under the name [http://ageofempires.wikia.com/wiki/User:Mictlantecuhtli Mictlantecuhtli]. I am also an administrator of the Age of Empires wiki, recently UFO Defense has become my most played game so I am probably going to be making edits on it until Enemy Unknown is released in October. When the new game comes out, I am going to try to afford it and start working on the multiplayer aspect of the game if it has a ranking system.

==Play style==
So far my favorite weapons in UFO Defense are the explosives and psionics (eat that grenade, eat it!), particularly the Alien Grenade and Blaster Launcher. The former because I valiantly defended a new base against an Ethereal and Sectopod invasion using only two tanks (cannon) and eight unarmed soldiers who picked up dead Ethereal weapons. The first soldier to make it to one of the corpses grabbed the grenade, armed it for 0 seconds and threw it into a group of three Ethereals and killed them en masse while leaving the weapons intact for the unarmed soldiers to grab. Since then I have developed a love affair with alien grenades, despite the outbreak of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-me2inj1nNw space herpes] which resulted from the alien incursion.

I have a habit of ignoring UFO's entirely if I am nearing completion of Cydonia or Bust, since the desire to run away from this evil planet is so overwhelming in my real life. I imagine being the commander of X-COM as a stepping stone on the way to escaping this planet and starting over on a new one. After all, following an alien invasion such as the one portrayed in the game the nations would soon begin fighting over the rights to the base, the Elerium-115, etc. Imagine if a truly neutral force such as X-COM seceded from the Earth to keep the petty world from destroying itself. Leave behind self destruct devices at the X-COM bases, purge the networks with aggressive computer viruses and assassinate all those within the program that are unwilling to protect the world from itself.

''' " Our souls are from the wild, and wings to reach the sky. Let the sun fall into the ocean, let the earth erupt in flame. It is enough to have the strength, and knowledge to raise our dream machines into the sky. Let them sleep who do not know the final day is here, the very last and we leave at dawn. There is no force, no money, and no power to stop us now and change our fate. Now every problem is destroyed. We raise our hands and bodies to the peak. Into the universe, towards the stars we go. "'''

Workshop

2012-09-28T01:36:43Z

EtherealLlama:

== General Information ==
[[Image:Base-workshop.gif|right|100px]]
The workshop has 50 units of space, each engineer working on a project requires 1 unit of space. Each project also has it's own unit requirement.

Workshop = Manufacturing = Money. Never have idle engineers, have them make something (anything) so you can sell it, even if you don't need it. Just be careful of using raw alien materials - [[Elerium-115]], for example, is too precious to convert into cash.

The [[Laser Cannon]] is the most profitable project you can mass produce. If you take the cost of materials (Alien Alloys) into account, the [[Fusion Ball Launcher]] is about 25% less profitable. See [[Manufacturing Profitability]] for details.

This [[Base Facilities (EU)|base facility]] appears in ''[[X-COM|UFO: Enemy Unknown]]''. For the ''[[TFTD|Terror from the Deep]]'' equivalent, refer to [[Workshop (TFTD)]].

EtherealLlama: Previous wording implied the workshop housed engineers, when they are housed in the living quarters instead.
