As an area-affect weapon, the Sniper Cannon may not benefit from a targeting computer. Artillery Cannons use the Indirect LRM Fire rules to determine target numbers, but Artillery Cannons cannot make Indirect Artillery attacks. Missed shots scatter like standard artillery, but divide the scatter distance by one half to account for the smaller propellant charges.<ref name="TOp285"/> </div> == Models == There no known models at this time. == See Also == * [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Sniper_Cannon | Sniper Cannon]]'' == References == <references/> == Bibliography == * ''[[Maximum Tech]]'' * ''[[Tactical Operations]]'' [[Category: Technology]] [[Category: Weapons]] [[Category: Ballistic Weapons]] [[Category: Ballistic Weapons (Heavy)]] [[Category: Indirect-Fire Weapons]] [[Category: Indirect-Fire Weapons (Heavy)]]
