    Actual Cannister Round M1A2 Video

    Since the update of PoE the "toy" goodness included the addition of the Cannister Rounds or also known as the Tank Shotgun Rounds. Found a Hi-Speed vid of one in action.....

    Pay attention especially to the last part of the vid and the area affected by this round...it will ruin anyones day.

    Enjoy!!

    Wherever it's posted, that's scary stuff. The end where the targets just disappear is wild.

    Cool. I wonder how they captured the profile shot on camera.

    Look awsome in real life but honestly I never use it In poe2. Machine gun is better for infantry killing at long range and heap is better at close range. Might be usefull for nailing jeep. I want to try it on choppers but I dindt played any maps where both where present.

    I have had success killing choppers with it, but at the range needed to be a 1s1k you can hit it with heap anyway unless your aim is poor.

    I have been pretty unimpressed with it so far.

    Agreed. While I like the concept I seem to have better success with HEAP against infantry or choppers. Instead of flames, I prefer the one shot kill you can get with a good shot.
    After watching the video I wonder if they would do more damage in the game after firing from farther away. Give the shot more time to spread. I will have to try it.

    Re: Actual Cannister Round M1A2 Video

    I,m not impressed either. I experimented w/it last night, and it really doesn't match up well with the heap. Forget bout long range it does nothing. I did shoot a jeep coming across a bridge with it, and after the smoke cleared it completely vanished lol. I didn't get a kill, and couldn't see any wreck anywhere. Strange, I think it makes a vortex in the space time continuum which could be good

    Re: Actual Cannister Round M1A2 Video

    I think it could have been tweaked a bit more as well. The hard part was making sure it was not overpowered and dominating since it is standard on the Abrams. Any suggestions on how to improve it while not making it too dominate?
