SPECIAL FEATURES
Utilizes counter rotating barrels to help maintain accuracy by canceling out the torque.
Comes with a variety of ammunition to aid with mission specific objectives.
Includes range sensors, targeting systems and tracking suite includes an automated target lead program. Automated assistance with [SIZE=10pt]reload, internal temperature check as well as an automated five to [/SIZE]seven-second cooldown between three to five-second firing sessions.
Includes heuristic data processing that allows for gun crews to be more efficient in the next battle. Also allows targeting and tracking systems to have a more effective predictive targeting system.
Solid Slug has a stutter fire mode that can be enabled, ammunition scanner checks the type of ammo within the cannon prior to enabling stutter fire mode. When in stutter-fire mode, the barrel locks into position. This is done so that the barrel does not rotate.
Utilizes [SIZE=10pt]sianium[/SIZE] power crystal generator aiding in the cannon’s high stopping power ability.
Range, [SIZE=10pt]rate of fire and stopping power vary depending on ammunition type with the solid slugs having the highest stopping power in single fire mode, at battlefield range with a very fast rate of fire. High explosive filling having the lowest range, [/SIZE]rate of fire and stopping power. Ball bearing and electromagnetic shells lying somewhere in between.
Detonation types vary by [SIZE=10pt]shell[/SIZE], with ball bearing utilizing proximity, solid slug and high explosive detonate on impact, with electromagnetic being a timed detonation.
Can only hold one type of ammunition, ammunition types must be chosen prior to mission launch. Cannot change between ammunition types in the middle of an engagement.
Fast track mounting and fire link capable, 270-degree firing radius with a 90-degree firing arc.
Ammunition: Capable of firing a variety of ammunition each with a specific purpose the Mogh-type II is ready to engage opponents at long range.
Rotary: A tri-barrel rotary design enabling the Mogh to fire upwards of 1500 rounds per minute.
Cooldown: With an automated timed cooldown, a firing pattern may become recognizable to experienced pilots. Giving them an attack of opportunity to run in [SIZE=10pt]and[/SIZE] attack.
Sianium[SIZE=10pt]: Utilizing Aurora Industries’ sianium[/SIZE] power is not without its drawbacks, the power generator may become vulnerable to overheating/misfire should the automated programming go awry.
A new generation of Mogh hypervelocity cannons, this one coming in two modes the rotary cannon or the fixed cannon. Both modes still utilized the forty-millimeter shells, with rotary making use of the depleted-[SIZE=10pt]baradium casings and the fixed using deplete- [/SIZE]baradium solid shells. The shells were created specifically for this cannon with two of shells utilizing impact detonation. Electromagnetic making use of timed detonations, ball bearing shells make use of proximity detonations, and both solid slugs and high explosive detonate on impact.
While the Mogh can fire a variety of shells, it cannot switch between rounds in battle. Users are advised to take one type of ammunition along with them. Which types of shells are taken may depend on the mission, the default or standard is the ball bearing filled shell. Range, [SIZE=10pt]rate of fire and stopping power may vary between the different shell types. Solid slugs offer the highest range, rate of fire and stopping power while the high [/SIZE]explosive-filled shell offers the lowest range, rate of fire and stopping power electromagnetic and ball bearing filled shells lie somewhere in between. Ball bearing shell has a higher stopping power at a lower range and an average reload speed. The electromagnetic shell having a lower stopping power, higher range and a high reload speed.
Tri-barrel design, the rotary cannons counter [SIZE=10pt]rotate[/SIZE] the barrels to help maintain accuracy by canceling out the torque. It spews upwards of up to 1500 rounds per minute creating a field of flak [when using the default ball bearing shell] that can prove difficult for even some of the more season pilots. Cannon's barrels becomesfixed when utilizing the solid slug, an ammunition scanner runs an internal check to ensure that solid slugs are loaded. Once the scanner confirms solid slugs are loaded, the barrels are locked into position. This then allows the cannon to use a stutter fire mode in which to fire, stutter fire mode offers the highest stopping power at the lowest rate of fire, highest recoil and lowest reload time.
Drawbacks of the Mogh include the timed cooldown periods. Seasoned pilots may be able to recognize the firing pattern and formulate their attacks. Taking advantage of the opportunity to attack either the ship/platform/station that the Mogh is attached [SIZE=10pt]to or attacking the Mogh outright. It also maintains the typical weaknesses for most [/SIZE]sianium power generators. Overheating /misfires caused either by uneducated gun crews or being hit with an ion/emp weapon, or kinetic weaponry. Which may lead to fatal results depending on circumstances.
Update: Changed components, eliminating the ion/emp weakness.
