Line 37:

The T-38 AAC differs considerably from the more sleek [[Type-27 Mantis]]. It is significantly heavier in construction, and as such is more difficult to transport and deploy, though its firepower is generally considered to make up for these disadvantages.<ref name="vis"/> The weapon is able to fire three bolts in a rapid succession before cooling down. Unlike the unprotected observation balconies of the Type-27 cannon, the Type-38's heavy base structure effectively doubles as a covered defensible fortification.<ref name="vis"/> The base structure has two levels, with a small command center on the first level, with sloped ramps leading to the second level which serves as an observation platform.

Each time the cannon fires, a bolt of plasma is generated in the core and fired up into the gun.<ref name="spear"/> The gun's vulnerable [[pinch fusion reactor]] is encased in a shielded power core in the center of the base structure. Destroying this will cause the gun to explode. Alternatively, the back of the cannon is fatally vulnerable to heavy weapons fire, such as the [[M808 Scorpion]]'s 90mm main gun or the [[Type-26 Wraith]]'s [[plasma mortar]]. To prevent this, the Covenant ~~assigned~~ a detachment of infantry and armored vehicles around the battery.
