Official description

v2.x

Time to pay attention here - the French have decided to support rest of Allied countries with their unique artillery platform, since they are using Demolishers. Grand Cannons are part of Allied most effective defense systems and there are no doubts that it is one of main reasons why Allied protection systems are best on the world. Grand Cannons are extremely dangerous as they can devastate everything in their long range with powerful 200mm ballistic cannon. It drains a lot of power to work and it's lately available during the battle, but when Allied commanders get access to it, their enemies need to make more intelligent tactics in order to take'em out. You can use it's great power against it though, the 200mm is very inaccurate, so just move your fastest units near it, and leave them there if there is no more defense around. The Grand Cannons have limited range, and they can't also shoot close themselves. Their cannonballs may also bring some bad results for owners of those defenses.
