Autocannons

Autocannons is a local upgrade whose identifier refers to the Bronenosets. Its English description is “Sponson-mounted guns. Strong against vehicles.” The configuration belongs to build 23882143. The upgrade record describes its intended anti-vehicle role but does not directly contain weapon damage. That does not mean the extracted tank has no weapons: cannon and flamethrower components are attached to its prefab. Distinguish those component records from the exact behaviour activated by this local choice before comparing it with the other attachments.

The Bronenosets record has 1 300 base hit points, a 1 300-point reserve, 90 front armour and 50 rear armour in build 23882143. Its attached components also include weapons. An earlier reading of the chassis as unarmed therefore does not follow from the data. The three named local choices describe different equipment, but their existence alone does not prove that the vehicle is sold without weapons or that every attached weapon operates simultaneously. The component and upgrade links are the relevant evidence, rather than an absence in an older catalogue.

The Bronenosets is a 700-mineral investment before local equipment. The autocannon description uses “Strong against vehicles”, whereas Heavy flamethrowers uses “massive damage on infantry”; these are distinct intended roles, not a complete damage comparison. The chassis costs 700 minerals, 50 gears and 50 population over ninety seconds. Attached weapon records contain calculated outputs, but those figures are not automatically the incremental benefit of this upgrade. Choose equipment for the observed targets and consult the tank page without assuming its whole weapon list is active at once.

Do not treat an autocannon-equipped Bronenosets as harmless to infantry merely because the upgrade is described as anti-vehicle. The base front armour is 90; its area-resistance coefficient is 0.5, which is not a proven statement that artillery damage is halved. The rear armour is 50, so attack direction is worth considering. The actual attachment and active weapons still matter. Compare the tank’s generated weapon records and observe its configuration before choosing infantry, armour or artillery as an answer.
