I've set a poll to see who prefer which start weapon for the light tank. I only included 2200 gold class weapons. I know someone who sometimes chooses a 2000 gold weapon, but the poll's purpose is to check which weapons is beeing uses in the 2200 gold class.
Most light tank users I play against prefer 2x light magic. The first reason, is it has 49 more range than the fireball cannon. The second reason is that you can upgrade both magics for 1110 gold, and the fireball cannon costs 700 gold, so the both upgraded basic magics become a bit stronger than a upgraded fireball cannon. The third reason is that you get 1 more projectile, so the chance of hitting the enemy tank increase with 50% (tank cannon included). Anyway when I try to play against a light tank with 2 basic magics, I have slightly more trouble of fighting him. I don't know but the is something which makes it better than fireball cannon. Maybe to much difference. Also there is a mystical reason why the basic magic usually owns fireball cannon. Pro players have noticed this. What is it which makes players more often choose basic magic than other weapons when they choose light tank? I think the 2 basic magics does surpass fan of knives as well.
I have 1 theory myself, 49 extra range makes the difference between the fireball cannon and 2 basic magics, even though basic magics has a bit less dps, it still owns fireball cannon in total amount of situations that I've encountered and frighten the fireball cannon user more than the basic magic user. Long range weapon does also create a psychological fear. The fear of getting outranged and killed. Those who are aware of the 49 range difference, does fear 2 basic magics a bit more than a fireball cannon. If I play against artillery users, I find it annoying, and if they gets much kills, and get more long range weapons, they are more annoying. The good part is that they usually go for more firepower than hull.
Also the basic magic is the second longest range start (2200 gold class or less) weapon for vehicles. Only bombarding rockets surpass the basic magic's range.
