INTENT​

Currently, on the site, there is no artillery to my knowledge. This feels very strange to me, as it's something we see still in use during the Clone Wars. So, this is designed primarily as a relatively cheap artillery unit free for use by any faction that should hopefully fill that gap, as well as encouraging more missions and threads that involve artillery.

DESCRIPTION​

The Tzerek M.A.P Unit is a mobile artillery cannon, released on the open market with the intent to fill the gaps in many planetary security forces and private military groups. Relatively cheap, easy to maintain, and decently accurate makes it a great tool for long range engagements against infantry forces, although the Plasma Shells, designed primarily for a ten meter spread as opposed to focused damage, have trouble penetrating heavily armored units, leaving the canon to mostly deal with foot soldiers and some vehicles like speeders and lightly armed scout craft.

One issue with the design is the onboard targeting computer. While it is able to hit targets with fairly good accuracy, and the 1 shell per ten seconds firing rate is decent, targets must be acquired externally using a target designator and then relayed to the canon. This process takes five to ten seconds depending on how far away the designator is from the main unit.

Additionally, the cannon is fairly weak to heavy blaster fire and explosives. Shots to the loading chamber, barrel, or magazine (Which is usually loaded on an accompanying hoversled) will result in an explosion and the destruction of the vehicle.

You forgot the dimensions, you narb. Also, firing rate?
