The Bastion Cannon is the upgraded Cannon Turret: twin heavy cannons, longer range and a tougher emplacement. The upgrade costs 340 metal, bringing the total investment to 660, and the completed emplacement has 1500 hit points. Its guns reach 7.5 tiles.
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 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.
