			''When playing [[Silent Threat]], be sure to consider whether you expect to encounter Shivans in a particular mission. The Avenger is, due to its superior shield damage, a better weapon against Shivan ships due to their high shields and low armor. Against Terran or Vasudan ships, however, which have lower shields and higher hull, the Prometheus becomes a better option as the reduction in shield damage is less important than the boost in hull damage.''}}

	With the advent of shield technology, the GTW-15 is preferred over the ML-16 in any ship that can carry it. It's extra damage against hulls make it one of the best anti cruiser weapons. It has also proven very effective against Vasudan fighters. However, it's substandard anti-shield capabilities make it a poor choice for dogfighting Shivans, although far better than the ML-16.

	The '''GTW-15 Avenger Cannon''' is a [[primary weapon]] which was used during the [[Great War]]. The main advantage of this weapon was that it was the only weapon that could inflict damage to [[Shivan]] [[Shields\|shields]] during the onset of the [[Great War]]. Its predecessor, the [[ML-16]] was ineffective against shields and had to be replaced. After the development of the [[Prometheus]], the Avenger was no longer the preferred weapon of [[GTA]] pilots.

	This is hands-down the BEST gun in the game, even better than the Prometheus! Here's why. The damage per second on hulls is marginally lower than that of the Prometheus...the Prometheus does 86.67 per second, and the Avenger does 80 per second. Yet the surprise comes when you look at the shield damage per second. The Avenger does 54.4 and the Prometheus does 46.67! Since shields can recharge and heal, shield damage should be given higher priority over hull damage. Also, many fighters, if not all, have more shield hitpoints than hull hitpoints.

	The Avenger also has other benefits over the Prometheus, including 100 more meters range, a higher velocity (improves accuracy on evading targets), and a faster rate of fire (becomes harder to dodge 100% due to the higher volume, even if it's not necessarily a higher damage rate as a result; great for the finishing blow).
