Why can't you place unit cannons on water?

Can you add a poll? I want the normal unit cannon on water... especially in the game I'm in now.

Edit: you should probably ignore this post

Poll
Who votes yes unit cannons on water?
Who votes no unit cannons on water?
Who votes I don't give?
Answer in red and bold.

If you want, put up to 10 short explanation(s) why. It might help the cause.

Example:
Hi. My name is TesseractA.
I vote Yes for being able to Place unit cannons on water.
1) You can have other factories float on water, so why can't a Unit Cannon float too?
2) Unit cannons do not only contain purely land units, they also contain amphibious units.
3) Convenient
4) Laser turrets can be placed on water, which are normally good only for land.
5) Holkins and Pelters can fire projectiles on water, isn't a unit cannon sort of a step up from that?
6) The land units are contained inside of the cannon instead of walking out, not leaving units that don't go in water into water.
7) Unit cannons from land can target water places giving the disadvantage to water, making it less favorable. Shouldn't they be equally favorable tactically?

(yes)


I do realise it might pose some difficulty to model.

if it doesn't then hell yes!

MOON BOAAAAAAAAAAAAAATS!

Ummm how is that going to work?

Lol

I still stand by that the Astraeus should be able to lift boats, and if you drop them on land they become stationary. I swear that you used to be able to lift boat fabbers (at least) at one point?

cybran t2 walking destroyers confirmed

I made two posts in a row, the first one was about a boat transport and the second one about hovercraft transports

Is there a thread for that?

There probably was one a LONG while back. XD

I couldn't find one D:

that's because the search feature on this forum is a pile of ****

These water portals should be horizontal, and you'd float in as much of your navy as you'd like to transport and then activate (or "flush") it and they'd all swirl around and down a central vortex. And if you try to send more than 1 Leviathan at a time it should become plugged. Oh, and jiggle the handle after you're done using it so it's not constantly trickling your energy away.

I don't think any structure should be able to be built on water.

You can't place unit cannons on water because unit cannons are tier 1 tanks, and tanks going underwater would imbalance the game

Wat?

Also tell that to Alpha balance, haha!

I think at some point they renamed the ant/bolo/ripper/whatever the hell else they named it to the "unit cannon" to troll all the people who kept asking for the unit cannon to get put in

Afair most structures aren't floating, but anchored to the ocean floor. So it's not that unrealistic.

I'd hate to completely embarrass you here but I would like to establish my point.

Just because unit cannons shouldn't fire to water with tanks doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to fire from water to land. I've also been frustrated by the fact that land unit cannons can fire slammers (amphibious units) at me but I can't fire back... especially since I have a map with 5 water planets 1 gas giant and 1 land planet. I would also like to remind you that units don't just move out of their respective factories into the water automatically, so the tanks would not go into water unless you found some glitch that would allow you to do so.
