Not only is it a programming nightmare (I say this in a good and bad way) it physically makes you much more likely to miss.

It seems to me that the most practical "moving while shooting" would be if you were already ligned up with the goal and going towards it. You could adjust the angle of your cannon at a more or less constant rate. As you move parallel to the midline, however, you have to adjust cannon angle *AND* cannon direction.
