| The '''35mm Semi-Autocannon''' is a [[Covenant Loyalist]] [[weapon]] mounted on the [[Brute Chopper]].
| |
| | |
| The 35mm Autocannons are the primary offensive asset of Brute Choppers, and each Brute Chopper is mounted with four linked forward-firing 35mm autocannons.
| |
| | |
| This cannon is surprisingly powerful, and its ammunition is probably a larger form of the [[Spiker]] round.
| |
| | |
| It most likely uses a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gast_gun Gast firing mechanism].
| |
| | |
| ==Tactics==
| |
| | |
| The 35mm Autocannon uses a very powerful shell, but has a very low rate of fire. Also, the rounds are too slow to take down fast targets, and so it is most effective to:
| |
| | |
| #Use this gun on short-medium range..
| |
| #Lead targets..
| |
| #Drive forward or stop momentarily, because the guns are forward mounted on a mobile section of the Chopper
| |
| #Don't attempt to use this gun against multiple targets simultaneously.
| |
| | |
| When facing this weapon, effective countering tactics are to:
| |
| | |
| #Avoid the incoming rounds, which are slow enough
| |
| #Prepare an anti vehicular weapon, as the driver may attempt to splatter you
| |
| #Try to attack a Chopper driver with one or more allies: he/she won't be able to lead and shoot down multiple targets surrounding his/her craft.
| |
| | |
| Remember that the 35mm Autocannon can only shoot down one enemy at a time, so don't rush among enemy formations, and don't stay there for too long...
| |
| | |
| Avoid excessive turning while firing as this will throw off the rounds' trajectory...
