Canister!

Canister is awesome! An StuG I had once killed an 11man squad with one shot! I heard a ton of screams for about 5 seconds.

Cannisters are evil. I had 1 T-34 wiped out an entire Finnish company with 20 cannisters. Those stubborn Finns died a terrible death around a burnt down farmhouse.

Which tanks have canister? How do you get a tank with canister to fire? I've had platoons of T-34s, some with no canister and some with only 10 shots or so (lots more HE and AP). And even the ones with canister never seemed to use it.

Thanks,

Cannister is a short-range ammo. Think of it like a shotgun, at ranges over 100 meters or so, it isn't very effective.

Cannisters are short-ranged shot-gun like weapon. Effective range 200m. They will fire only when the SOFT target is in minimal cover. You can see the cannister shot by the cloud burst from the muzzle.
