Mark 40 Spitfire[edit]
The Mark 40 Spitfire is a refinement of the older Mark 33, featuring a higher muzzle velocity, improved tracking speed, and better accuracy than its predecessors. The gun mount is also several tons lighter thanks to it being armoured with a new formulation of Titanium-A armor while still maintaining the same level of protection. The Autumn-class heavy cruiser sports four of these coilgun batteries to complement its Magnetic Accelerator Cannon.[4][2]
