The turret uses an advanced custom-coded ballistics system independent of the standard Project Zomboid mechanics, calculating the trajectory, kinetic energy, and penetration of each projectile individually. Damage is applied realistically to vehicles, walls, and bodies.
- Firepower – The 20 mm M61 Vulcan is capable of firing up to 3,000 rounds per minute, shredding anything in its path.
- Rounds The M61 Vulcan can be loaded with armor-piercing rounds or explosive rounds.
- Heavy Support – Perfect for base defense or clearing large hordes.
- Tracked Mobility – Able to move over rough terrain where normal vehicles would be stuck.
- High Fuel Consumption – Its weight and tracked system consume much more gasoline than regular vehicles.
- Moderate Speed – Slow but unstoppable.
- Light Armor – Although based on the M113, its armor protection is limited.
- Extremely Noisy – The tracks and Vulcan cannon make it easy for hordes to hear from a great distance.
- Tracks and gun system may require maintenance and repairs.[/list]
How to use the Vulcan Cannon
- You must sit in the Gunner’s seat.
- Load the Vulcan M61 filled with 20 mm Ammo Rounds into the gun compartment.
- Hold Right Mouse Button to aim and Left Mouse Button to fire.
- ATTENTION: The rounds follow the barrel direction, not the mouse cursor. Wait until the turret stabilizes for precise shots.
- WARNING: The 20 mm Vulcan projectiles are extremely powerful and can penetrate vehicles and walls depending on their energy. Use with caution this weapon is not a toy.
VariationsMilitary versions can be found in military zones, airbases.
Known BUGS- Armor does not protect against firearm attacks from NPC mods.
- When loading a save, the turret may temporarily reset its position.
