- Heavy Main cannon meant for heavy or main battle tanks, this tank gun will tear apart any kind of armor put in front of it, vehicle or otherwise.
- Targeting systems from the H-1 are carried over, which means you can lase targets and get range, speed and direction meaning this can target and then leading whatever you are trying to shoot at.
- Cased Ammunition means you use different rounds for different targets, maximizing effectiveness.
- This is a heavy tank cannon - This weapon system was designed to be put on heavy or main battle tanks, to kill other tanks and walkers. It will absolutely destroy and mess up any kind of armor you put against it, at range, and can severely mess up everyone on the other side as well.
- Cased ammo allows for specialization - This weapon system also uses cased ammunition, which means you can design rounds to do specific jobs from dealing with infantry, to killing tanks, and even walkers, with deadly efficiency and accuracy.
- This is an extremely heavy weapon - This weapon system can only be mounted on heavy vehicles, heavy tanks, main battle tanks, or other types of vehicles. This is not a light weapon by any means, nor is it easy to control its recoil. If you want to use this, you better have something that can hold it.
- Pick your shots - This weapon can only fire once before needing to reload, and it takes a little bit to reload because these rounds are not light.
A larger weapon meant to be a step up from the H-1 cannon, the H-2 is weapon system with one singular purpose. Kill tanks. And it does this with extreme precision, and efficiency. This weapon is meant to punch through any and all kinds of armors, even giving starship hulls a run for their money as the only limit to this weapon is the rounds you put into it. And the base AP rounds that come with this thing are diabolical. You see an enemy tank on the horizon about 4.5 kilometres out? You can kill him. With a laser rangefinder and targeting system that automatically generates lead after lazing a target for a few seconds you can put rounds on target at essentially any range so long as you can either see the target, or aren't trying to shoot through a mountain to kill him. Now this weapon requires that you mount it to a heavy chassis, so only heavy tanks, walkers, or other main battle tanks, and unlike many rapid fire weapons you have to pick your targets with this weapon. But with a gun this powerful, one shot is all you'll need.
