I was an Ork player and yeh when it worked the ball round may have
been a bit to good. The 1 turn to reload reduced it quite a lot tho.
The thing was it wasn't exactly a complicated weapon and if it could
be so defestating surely some of the other races would have come up
with more sophistated versions of what was basically a huge
cannon(imagine cannon the size of Iraqi suppergun, and if that can be
done today well in the future god only knows!(if he exists that
is!)).
