Developers should really change magnum description from:

"
Long range howitzer. Fires powerful explosive shells on a ballistic trajectory.


A true magnum opus of artistic tank construction. The biggest caliber, which can fit onto a tank hull. The most destructive high-explosive shell, from what we could find. The longest barrel with the biggest barrel brake. With enough skill, though, you can hit enemies behind any cover and at any distance.

to:

"
Long range home-made cannon. Fires rubber shells on a ballistic trajectory.

A true magnum opus of artistic tank construction. The ****tiest  caliber, which can fit onto a tank hull. The least destructive high-explosive shell, from what we could find. The longest barrel with the biggest barrel brake. With enough skill, though, you can hit enemies behind any cover and at any distance and still deal less damage than some brainless turret with some OP augment. Expect magnum to get nerfed countless times while turrets which require no aim, no skill, no brain and that can't even miss it's shots to deal more damage and guaranteed status effects in area. Maybe you should camp in the spawn with  Gaussy which deals guaranteed status effects on all enemies or Scorpussy which has an augment that takes more than half of the juggernaught hp with a single salvo.

I think it is expected for "The biggest caliber" artillery to kill with a single direct hit all light hulls but seems like that's forbidden.
