Dragoon Self Propelled Artillery

Description
This project is a 388mm gun on a Half-Track platform meant for hitting targets at 6km.

The Fluff:
One time I was fortunate enough to have the DWG reinforce a resource zone with 16 Seabird Cannon Fortress’, at which point I decided to join my 2 tank battalions and have them engage the position, no tanks where lost but unfortunately a retreat order had to be issued duo to lack of ammo.
The intent was make a vehicle that could engage structures from a distance safely and experiment with inter-vehicle transmitters and extreme long-range arty.

What comes in the box:

-1 388mm main gun loaded with 4m HE shells

-Hydraulic Legs for stability (mostly for looks tough)

Important Info:

-Vehicle transmitters seem to have a limit of around 6-7km, at which point they can’t reach any allied units, chaining them may be possible, but either duo to the AI not being able to calculate the firing arc or not being able to aim duo to the SPA using a 3m mantlet instead of a AA one I was not able to test it.

-This unit is equipped with detection purely for the worst situation or to fire at incoming garrison forces (which you would need to manually target since the AI is tweaked to fire at large and slow targets), don’t under any circumstance have it take the frontlines, it’s a very barebones build with not a lot of time put into it since the purpose of the build was to have it not being fired upon at all.

-Duo to ACB and AI range limitations the legs only deploy around 4950m, that is purely cosmetic however duo to the inclusion of a muzzle break, the AI is rigged to maintain that range tough so keep that in mind.

Field Report:
Upon further testing against more capable defense and not just houses, the engagement range makes it so the Sentinel Skyscraper has a hard time pin pointing it duo to the unreliable detection info at this distance, however it will still be able to shoot your Spy (insert FBI approved vehicle of choice) although with some difficulty duo to how the turret is designed, may also get a lucky shot on the arty.

The SE Long Range Missile Turret on the other hand has barely enough range on it’s missile duo to fuel but the lifetime makes it possible for the missiles to slide in the sand and hit the SPA.

That is all from me, happy hunting commander.
