Unit feedback
Little feedback with 1 game in campaign : I feel like this unit design is odd a bit. main performance for this unit is anti-infantry with straight fire. We can consider this unit as better dps version of thunderer with replacing tank to dps.

The reason why I call this debate is dwarf have already best anti infantry killer; Irondrake(3tier) and organ gun(4tier).
there is no reason to use crank gun for killing infantry instead of irondrake(better angle, crazy aoe shoot, 3tier) and organ gun(u know this is king of straight fire unit) + these two kings are in same building tech

I tried to find this unit usage on killing heavy units(like monsters) instead of trollhammer cuz trollhammer usually smash ally melee when this came to tww3. but this test was little controversial cuz this unit melt down very big size single unit(like dragon) but middle size(like cavaly unit case 'they don't even hit'. bullet just fly over their head unless they just stop at that point to being target.(this case thunderer is better because of accuracy)

so here is in short
vs infantry : Irondrake or Organ gun > crank gun
vs middle : thunderer, Organ gun> crank gun
vs big single unit : very nice dps, but we have ranger(great weapon) and giant slayer.
I feel this unit only useful to snipe single big monster(especially flying unit), but this is counter performance of this unit status...

I really love to use this unique cool shooter but this unit makes me lose the game... I hope my feedback would change your mind about this unit concept. anti-infantry -> anti-monster / giving better accuracy.
