Because of its high area-of-effect and high velocity it is a very useful anti infantry weapon as well, able to kill even the toughest infantry like the [[Mgalekgolo]] in just one shot. One shot from a 90mm Cannon is also very effective at destroying walls or structures if enough shots are fired at it. | ||

It is best for players to remain in an open spot and let the Ghosts come to the player. If this option is not available it is recommended that players use the [[M247T machine gun|Scorpion's turret machine gun]] instead. | ||

When going up against aircraft like the [[AV-14 Hornet]] or the [[Type-26 Banshee]], players must also aim ahead of their target. Depending on how fast the target is moving, the reticule needs to be slightly ahead of the target or just outside the reticule. | ||
*In ''Halo 4'', the cannon produces a noticeable vapor trail similar to that of a sniper rifle when fired upon and reveals the tank's location. Also, unlike previous ''Halo'' titles, the tank round can be bounced off in several odd occasions. | *In ''[[Halo 4]]'', the cannon produces a noticeable vapor trail similar to that of a sniper rifle when fired upon and reveals the tank's location. The cannon's velocity travels a fraction of the speed that it was in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. Also, unlike previous ''Halo'' titles, the tank round can be bounced off in several odd occasions and arc over long distances. | ||
