Rumble Cannon (Apocalypse)

The Rumble Cannon is one of the most powerful weapons that exists in Mega-Primus, capable of launching a rapid barrage of powerful shells at targets. Though not individually powerful or very accurate, the shells are fired in great numbers and each shell can easily punch through even the toughest of the capital class UFO hulls. It does not require ammunition.

The Rumble cannon unfortunately suffers from several serious flaws that do not allow the cannon to be put to its fullest potential. The first is that the range of the cannon is very short, meaning the vehicle needs to be up close to the target before it can lay waste to it. Cannon performance is also less than stellar when under AI control, but can be used to great effect under manual control. Perhaps the biggest crippling factor is that it is limited to a ground based vehicle, the Griffon AFV. This severely restricts its ability to intercept UFOs unless the tanks are strategically placed around the city.

The Rumble Cannon is the standard weapon mounted on a Griffon AFV that is fresh from the manufacturer. With the Griffon AFV being the only land based vehicle capable of mounting the Rumble Cannon, the cannons rarely ever need purchasing.

Note that some images of the cannon are switched with the Plasma Turret Cannon .
