The problem isnt doing it at the walls (its easy to do counter that there and man where those some oblivious orks) Its doing it further in when they have fallen back to b. To be more specific the alcoves up top where they had shots at the bridges. It aint impossible to use the LC even then to counter if you have BLC but as its a 30k box option not many have this and even fewer can use this while also being shot at by ork counter zapps. If your too far away your shot can miss/hard as hell to lock on such a tiny target without zoom but if your too close then you can be shot by enemy zapps/ kannons themselves.
No you did not pay attention to what i wrote and what i did during the vid .. and i fucked it up myself a bunch of times ( that time i moved to the left was the targeting sticking to the window corner .. the usual camera troubles) , but you zoom in align crosshair with the target THAN zoom out and as long as you don't move the mouse you will stay on target. than you press fire and volla!! vaped ork. thanks to lascannon 100% accuracy when hip firing even over range. ( its a feature!) View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHNcVInFVCw&feature=youtu.be Them being oblivious .. well most of them will also spend a lot of time zoomed in looking for prey which lowers their field of vision and global awareness to your red laser beam. Now the ork also must not move but likely he won't if he is braced. I tried with the stalker bolter as well.. but getting the 3 or 4 rounds on target is hard ,. usually they back off behind cover after the 1st hit. If we'd ever have gotten control of the wall i'd prob have swapped to H plasma to bombard A point from the wall's high ground. but alass. There is also uses for jump assaults with nades to do bombing runs on Heavy Weapon teams for the final push. found this to be pretty successful to push up to establish the beachhead to move into the final part of the map. Its kinda yolo kamikaze but , hey we have unlimited respawns the don't, we are supposed to literally slam ourselves into them taking out as many as you can before dying basically. This counter play combined with nerfing the kannons damage drop off range like they discussed last friday will just make sniping them more easy since they won't be able to kill you by shooting at the corner you dive behind to break LoS if you are at a decant range from them. And yes i agree its kinda lame that a decant counter is in a 30k box for LSM. Since elder SH can just get some base weaponry to counter play Kannons, and Chaos ...Chaos dint ask for help they doing just fine!. { edit: did my 1st 30k box on LSM and you'll never guess what Tzeentch decided to gift me with o_o"}
Please see the pictures. It does 1600 on direct and near direct hits. It can do as little as 200. Only you can end fake news.
So dump the zzap. Make it a different weapon to be used for long range AI if thats what you wanna nerf outa the kannon.
When almost everything you've said above is completely wrong it makes the rest of your post look pretty stupid. Sniper accurate? Have you used the weapon? Have you bothered to look at the videos above? I'm not even going to bother going into some of your other claims. Explains the current state of balance if the devs are listening to this sort of player feedback. Nobody is taking the PC for the snap fire you mug, but it's an option to defend yourself up close which the Kannon entirely lacks. There's a load of you crying about the Kannon's AV capabilities; you guys realise we don't have a melta or multimelta Yea? You realise Orks are lacking in their AV options as is.
Because this is a game where instant TTK isn't a big part of the balance, so first off the few things with instakills are going to disliked by many. After that the Kannon is accurate, the projectile moves fast and doesn't really have a sound que of significance, and it's AoE. So because it's an effective, hard to dodge, instakilling AoE weapon in a game where instakill weapons are uncommon.
Nah you're not going to cherry pick the one piece of hyperbole to ignore the rest. Totally transparent mate. You're better than bitter Last paragraph: Kannon's AV won't suffer unless you're relying on splash. Don't be daft and whiney.
I have a character of every race. I literally can't remember ever dying to a kannon. Plasma on the other hand randomly one shots me all the time. Do you see me crying about plasma?
No, I stated a fact. I didn't ask for plasma to be nerfed. I didn't even say randomly dying to plasma is a bad thing. I just said it happens to me way more often than kannons killing me. That statement isn't positive or negative.
