The Type-55 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun,[1] abbreviated as Type-55 ASG, is a Covenant anti-infantry gun turret and one of the emplacements generally identified as Shades. The reformed Covenant makes extensive use of the T-55 ASG and fielded the weapon during the first and second battles on Requiem in 2557 and 2558, respectively.
Design details
The T-55 ASG's design is similar to that of the Type-29 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun. Like the T-29, the T-55 ASG is mounted on a tripod, with the operator seated on top. As with the T-29, the T-55's operator can rotate the turret a full 360 degrees, but is left highly exposed to enemy fire. The T-55 has a considerably higher rate of fire than the T-29, though it lacks the T-29's mobility. Also unlike the T-29, the T-55 is destructible in gameplay.
