    Replacing their previous motto: Some like it hot.

    Has Uber ever confirmed this anywhere? In the video it was just bots, but I was under the assumption that basically anything land based that wasn't unusually large was going to be fireable.

    I'm not aware of any confirmation. It'd just make sense on so many levels. Uber wants bots to fulfill an "infantry" role, so this would be like paratroopers from space.

    I'm not aware if it has been confirmed. Frankly, I made my mind that we will never see the Unit Cannon anyway. But I will be very happy to be surprised and disproved on this one. So, I still hope.

    In the eventuality that the Unit Cannon will appear in game, at some point, I wouldn't mind it being able to launch exclusively bots.

    Surely it will cause havoc if it could launch the actual Vanguards. But that's more likely a problem with the Vanguards being way too strong, than with the Unit Cannon itself.

    The Unit Cannon is definitely going to be added into the game. It's just a matter of time.

    Yeah. Vanguards need to be tweaked back in the other direction.

    If you can shoot down the units while in the orbital and air layers, it might not be op. Especially if the units are travelling in a weak capsule regardless of the unit hp.
