Warthog
The meme, the myth, The Warthog is a specialized medium sized (Dugong sized) attack sub. She is designed to take out large enemies and other submarines. She features a state of the art fixed forward firing Rotary Coil Gun that will shred Molochs and the hulls of enemy subs and Thalamus subs with ease. She shares many system commonalitys with the Vengeance.

Rotary Coil Gun DPS Break Down:
600 RPM is the DPS of 2 Coil Guns which is equal to 10 rounds a second. It is recommended to use this fire rate for most things.
2000 RPM is the DPS of 6.5 Coil Guns which is equal to about 32 rounds a second. This is best used against Molochs and other subs. This will empty the ammo cans fast.
4000 RPM is the DPS of 14 Coil Guns which is equal to about 70 rounds a second. This fire rate is absolutely insane and a complete waste unless you’re fighting an Endworm. This fire rate will BBBRRRTTTTTT through 10 coil gun ammo cans in about 5 seconds. You have been warned.
*For an extra broken experience, if you’re running the EK Mod then be sure to use the Coilgun Laser Emitter ammo type that is unlimited.

KNOWN BUGS
- When running the mod Sounds of Europa https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2347002377 Warthog trigger logic such as fire rate will not work correctly and some visual elements in screens will be broken. Button description pop-ups may also not work.
- Do not fire the rotary cannon within 5-10 seconds of docking. This will potentially cause a "flip" in the trigger logic and make the cannon continuously fire until empty. If this happens you can correct this by firing from the burst setting in the navigation terminal in the bridge and redocking right away to "flip" it back. It might take multiple fire and redock attempts to correct.
- In PvP, It can be very laggy on weak machines when both Warthogs go BBBRRRRTTTTTTT. It’s recommended that the person with the best machine and internet connection host the game.
