while a formidable weapon against fixed targets, the catapult did have drawbacks like it's lack of maneuverability, it's slow reload times, and it's inability to target ground troops effectively. It would ultimately be replaced by the cannon for all those reasons above, then the cannon would be replaced by the missile for it's more destructive and accurate power.
