Artillery and autocannons are not the same thing, autocannons have a high rate of fire, good tracking, high dps and are short range, artillery has a slow rate of fire, bad tracking low dps and are long range.

TL;DR autocannons are basically machine guns whereas artillery is exactly what it says on the tin.

Is the AC-Tripple-Rep-Myrmidon not a thing anymore?  
Last I know, with the Ancillary Repper it got even better?

That ship used to tank like a Camel after a trip through the desert.
