Though many things have resistances to piercing, I still wouldn't discredit the R6 Trebuchet. Don't forget that the average 128 (x2) attacks THREE times, so it's actually 128 x6.

While that translates into about 150 damage to tank armor, including crits, that's also 144 damage to the typical tank HP.

The Mammoth Artillery will deliver about 400 damage, straight to armor first.

When you take out armor and piercing reduction out of the equation, the Trebuchet wins hands down with its ability to do over 800 damage (and the Mammoth Artillery is still stuck at 400), and being nanopod-free.

Like Wimps, it's a chore getting to R6. Unlike Wimps, Trebuchets don't need babysitters :P
