CAS30 Tank Buster

The  is a nose cannon available to the Liberator. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Close Air Support 30 Tank Buster is a specialized close-range anti-ground vehicle cannon. Boasting amongst the highest damage-per-second of any weapon in any domain, the Tank Buster has the potential to live up to its name with terrifying damage output against ground vehicles, although these strengths are tempered by relatively poor accuracy and velocity, high damage falloff, a small magazine size, and a long reload time, often forcing the weapon to combo with the Liberator's belly gunner to finish off vehicles in one run.

The CAS30 Tank Buster fires two shots at a time, for an effective RPM of 1200—twice the listed value.

Ribbons and Medals
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the cannon. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.

History

 * September 26, 2017 Update(D&amp;UC)
 * Damage from 334-143 to 175-100
 * November 20, 2017 Update
 * Max damage per pellet from 175 to 250
 * Dev Note: Alongside the ESF chaingun resistance adjustment below, this brings shots to kill versus ESF from 35 to 18. Against heavily armored targets, the number of reloads required to kill typically drops from 3 to 2.
 * March 20, 2019 Update
 * Aiming with optics no longer allows you to swivel the turret.
 * Dev Note: Since the introduction of the Spur-like swiveling optics, a common complaint has been the inability to maneuver the Liberator while aiming; this feedback alongside the Liberator's newfound ability to obliterate larger aircraft with the Vektor factored into the decision to revert this feature. We may reintroduce the swivel functionality for the Vektor and Tank Buster at a later date, but if it were done, it would be bound to a unique type of optic so that players could choose between more maneuverability and the ability to swivel the turret.
 * Projectile velocity from 300 to 400
 * Dev Note: We've increased the velocity of the Tank Buster's projectiles to help pilots engage from slightly further distances and increase the consistency of landing shots on fast-moving targets.
 * March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
 * The reload speed certification lines for main cannons, noseguns, ESF wing mounts, Liberator bellyguns, and Flash weapons have been standardized at 5/7/8.5/9.5/10% reload speed.
