IG might have better vehicles but they get stomped in the infantry department. A Basilisk with its Earthshaker cannon have more lore and data to show while the Siege tank has claims of a few things but beyond that nothing else besides sheer speculation which doesn't help it. They have multiple different kinds of shells mentioned in lore with standard High Explosive, to Incendiary, Smoke, Illumination, and Armor piercing shells tipped with Diamantine with standard shells known to cause craters 15 meters in diameter (claims Lexicanum anyways)Īt the very least between a Basilisk and Siege Tank, Artillery wise (and even tank wise possibly, I didn't look through the Leman Russ vs Siege Tank). That's like throwing a ball only a few yards.īasilisks on the other hand are known to be outright armed with 132mm Earthshaker howitzers with ranges of 9+ miles (15km) and able to smash apart fortresses, vaporize troops even in heavy power armor, rip open tanks, and with enough grouped fire bring Titans to their knees (the last one helps if the writer is on the IG's side) From those alone, as wildly inconsistent as they are. The only thing we have to go on is in-game maps and the one scene from the Heart of the swarm intro (that I know of). The only "concrete" thing I know of is that they have shells that can direct their own blast away from allied units (by 75%) to hopefully not kill allies.Īs for range. There is mention of more shells, but only names an Armor piercing shell (how much it can penetrate, its damage, etc are never mentioned). The wiki talking about the SC1 tank says something about the 120mm shock cannon at one point being replaced with an "Artillery Cannon" that lobed plasma shells (but again, there is no difference in-game aside from saying "oh the bullets are different") Only the SC2:WoL in-game lore notes the 180mm Shock Cannon lobs a giant blob of Molten Tungsten that splash/explodes on targets. They might as well be standard projectile cannons (they just kinda go "pew" and the target gets a little puff and maybe dies). Problem is everything else just says it has 80/90mm "cannons" (the plasma cannons bit came from the wiki, Im still digging). I know the StarCraft Siege Tanks in tank mode have duel 80mm PPG-7 "plasma cannons" (90mm version on the SC2 tanks) and a 120mm "Shock Cannon" (180mm for SC2). Its difficult to compare the equipment of both sides.
