It suffers from both a lack of power and a pitiful range, making it effectively useless against all but scout class UFOs.

	The cannon's main advantage is its huge ~~ammunition~~ magazine. Though the [[Stingray]] and [[Avalanche]] have greater range and power, the missiles do have a very limited ammunition supply. The cannon on the other hand, having 200 shells and a greater firing rate, has many chances of striking its target. What it lacks in power, it makes up in volume.

The cannon on the other hand, having 200 shells and a greater firing rate, has many chances of striking its target. What it lacks in power, it makes up for in volume.

	The cannon's biggest problem is to actually get a UFO to enter its firing range. The best way of closing ~~into~~ a UFO quickly is to use an aggressive stance and to pray that the UFO does not flee. When a UFO finally manages to get within range, the next problem is to actually survive any return fire.		The cannon's biggest problem is to actually get a UFO to enter its firing range.

	Due to these limitations, Cannons are very quickly outclassed by the craft [[Laser Cannon]]s and [[Plasma Beam]]s. Cannons continue to remain useful to a small extent by the simple fact that they have a much greater chance of shooting down smaller UFOs without completely destroying them.
