Which Cannon *Looks* Stronger?

I was in the process of upgrading my level 11 Cannons to level 12 when I noticed the level 11 ones *look* stronger. Is it just me?
The stripes on the 12 look mean but it's got a much smaller calibre!



And guys, let's keep this thread G rated. There are kids playing this game - think about the children!

(Level 12 on the left, level 11 on the right)

 

IMO, the level 11 looks stronger and it looks like it would fit a larger cannonball. The level 12 looks like a bee and the size of the cannonball would just sting.

 

I think 12 looks stronger. Smaller ball maybe, but seems like it would have more force.

 

The left one looks stronger, like it will fire a concentrated dose of awesomeness.

 

The Level 13 ones kinda fix that. I think the caliber looks bigger, but even if it doesn't, those armored deflector plates just make it look ferocious.

 

Oh yeah. The shields make it look awesome. I just hope that the ground pounder upgrade matches it.

 

lvl 12 one. Moar fancy shiney things = moar powah!

 

What's this about ground pounder upgrade? I would like to know more and how soon I can get some!

 

I'm just hoping and speculating.
