I keep seeing people using the main cannons agenst close targets.

When someone is close, HIT YOUR RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON. It does like double damage, but less ranage and less speed.

actually that aint 100\% true, i find it that if i face a vechile i go with the tank's shells but if there is a person around the rockets r much easier to kill them with, try it the rockets dont damage armord cars much, like the harvester, it will barley scratch it with missils, there really effective against ppl,
remember:

shells = tanks
rockets = infantry

one other thing. the rockets are better vs. buildings than the main gun. i tested that and it takes less shots with the missiles..

The rockets are stronger, in all instances.

Wrong, if people are really close, use the cannons because the rockets curve over and don't hit the infantry while the cannons can hit the ground directly in front of you

If someone is that close, run them over they may run back then all you do is hit reverse and blow the **** out of them.

I hate to say it. But you're all wrong. The Mammoth has 2 120mm cannons. And has these(I forgot the name) Tusks Anti-Infantry rockets. The rockets are for killing infantry, for everything else(there's mastercard) there's the main cannons.

That's funny, you can kill infantry in one or two shots at most with the rockets, and they home. Shells don't do that, and they don't do as much damage either.

If you ever tell anyone we are all wrong again, I am going to beat the living pi$$ outta you. I agree with the majority. Rockets are good for taking out infantry and structures. Normal shells are good for vehicles i think.

Sorry to make so many posts...
But, if rockets were stronger in all instances, why do they even have the normal fire?

The rockets are for INFANTRY and the main cannons are for vehicles

Rockets rule against harvesters (and other vehciles I think) each one takes like a block of life down, try it, and yes, they are much better at killing infantry too, I'm guessing the shells are for long range bombardment.

Shells do have a much longer range than the rockets I have noticed.
Question-- Rocket soldiers have infinite range, right?

It's all very simple: rockets do about double the damage of the normal cannons against everything. They also have much larger splash. However, their range is about as short as the stealth tank missiles which means they are useless at long or even medium range. They are also very slow, which makes it hard to hit vehicles properly. That's why the tank has cannons. It's very easy to test: fire one cannon shell on a harvester, then fire one rocket. Repeat against a building. You will see the difference.

Yep, I think the impact of the rocket and the splash damage is what makes the super-damage hits. Since you are hitting a vehicle then the vehicle takes all of the damage including all of the splash damage.

But hey, feel free to just use the cannon, it helps us Noddies out.
