Overview
The Bastion Cannon is the upgraded Cannon Turret: twin heavy cannons, longer range and a far tougher emplacement. It is the strongest static defense against armor in the game.
How to use
A pair of Bastions covering a choke makes a tank push prohibitively expensive, which forces the enemy toward artillery, bombers or a landing elsewhere, so watch for those. Its range now rivals a tank destroyer's; combined with a Radar's vision it fires at things that cannot see it. Keep power healthy: a Bastion at reduced fire rate is a very expensive decoration.
Counters
Howitzers, MLRS, Bombers and Battleships. It counters every ground vehicle and any ship within reach.
