NuCoal has lot going on as faction and this tank has its part in that.
Guns shouldn’t dictate choice as much as they should tactics. More powerful but less accurate weapons typically mean you want to be stationary and gaining some measure of concealment when firing. The more accurate the weapon, the more feasible it is to shoot while moving as you’re less hampered by the negative modifiers incurred.
