Well, I have, and I must disagree. The D-cannon is quite powerful, yes, but
a) it scatters like indirect fire
b) after it scatters, you must then roll to hit targets under the template.
That's alot of room for inaccuracy. Using Warphunters, Cobras, and Titan
D-Cannons are risky because you never know if you're going to hit/deviate,
hence the "low" cost. If you're gonna beef up points costs, look to the
Lascannon wings and the Pulsar (although I think they're fine). For pure
power and mass destruction, these 2 weapons are just scarey!
