There is def a risk of using them, if a cannon blows up whilst ur next to it u can get one tapped too. Cannons are also really easy to counter if u have a heavy tank or anything else that can destroy a cannon as it can one shot it so it shouldnt give points. However I do feel like cannons shouldn't be able to do as much damage as it does rn with 1 AP shell.

people dying from the cannon explosion literally never happens. And its not worth bringing a heavy when countering the cannons does nothing since it takes 10 seconds to build a new one and a heavy tank will get sunk before destroying enough cannons to justify the hastle (-1200 points if you cant escape)

literally any movecraft can 1-2tap a cannon and keep someone in combat for 30 seconds (sidenotes a-i died to cannon explosion in a brigantia siege and b-htanks give 400 points, not 1200)

cannon dmg is massive, but if it would do less, then they'd have no use. In real life if you get shot by a cannon, i am not so sure if you would survive xd.
Also Linnan, ever heard of Defenders Advantage? If all of teh cannons would give points, there would be no advantage, and defensive sieges would be too hard to win.
Also HeavyTanks (if engineered properly with front armor) can do enough damage to a fort, so you don't have a place to make new cannons. Also cannons require a lot of iron blocks, so u cannot make an infinite amount in a 48 hour siege

ah yes defenders advantage (being able to one shot people without any risk of dying yourself)

And if you cannot afford iron blocks that cost 150 per stack thats on you

If >5 people aim at you with cannons is obvious you will die if you don't move

It will take 2 people to one shot you regardless of if you move or not

there are millions of clips to attest to the opposite

there are a billion clips of people getting one shotted by cannons while moving i dont know what youre talking about

Heavy tanks do not bring people to combat @PDF

No.
