is lower than the gatling turret but the damages are higher. The small
canon is powerfull against light or heavy fighters/bombers formations
due the blasting power of the shells used. Bigger ships will need more
firepower to be destroyed.

saturate shield of bigger ships.
Big cannon:

big canon is powerfull against bigger ships like frigates, destroyers,
cruisers. As the medium canon it can use a large variety of shells. But
due to the slow rate of fire it is mostly used against big slow ships
rather than fighters or bombers.

didn't get hit by some defensive shells.
