HP: A clear advantage for the 2 Cerberus, however we should not forget that 1.) You just need to do 3750 dmg (i.e.: 5 Ravens, 2 Lances in a cloaking field, etc) to destroy 50% of the value of the 2 Cerberus.

2.) The BB will be built much farther back, making it a lot easier to shield from air and ground units. Actually, most of the time it will be so far back that it won't even draw fire. Even if it may be poorly protected - its so far back, you don't always have up to date scouting on that.

In a large map it can be built a bit forward of your base - or perhaps at worst in the middle between the frontlines and your own base - and still reach the enemy base after smashing the enemy frontlines.

Actually why bother kill the frontlines first? Tear that base to pieces right away.

If the target of the BB is not at the absolute edge of its range its shells are going to hit at about the same time as the ones from the Cerberus.

The explaination for the use of Cerberus instead of BB in Chicken seems to me: In Chicken, you want a cannon you can leave on Fire at Will with good range - but one that will not shoot the enemy spawn, as u dont want to anger the hive.

Either in DPS - so it becomes a bit better at beating lightly shielded targets, wrecking frontlines.

Even a projectile speed buff could help it catch retreating lances that became uncloaked after firing. Tho after that happens your Cerberus usually doesnt get to "Return fire" anymore.

Actually currently BB is better at this role as well, cuz apart from not being dead after lances did a hit n run on your frontline it only needs 7 seconds to fire again.
