	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.

	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.

	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]] ~~on occasion during the early stages of a campaign against enemy~~ [[~~Terror Units~~]] ~~that are resistant~~ to ~~[[High Explosive\|high explosive]] attacks~~.		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.

	In particular, the heavily armoured [[Cyberdisc]]s and [[Chryssalid]]s. As the [[Tank/Rocket Launcher]] only carries a small supply of rockets, [[X-COM]] commanders tend to end up with rocket tanks stranded in the field with no means of defending itself. A single cannon tank can often deal with several [[Cyberdisc]]s or [[Chryssalid]]s without spending all of its cannon shells.		Unlike the [[Tank/Rocket Launcher]], which can still be useful in later stages of the campaign, 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.
