Sabre Gun Platform
Adds Sabre Gun Platforms armed with anti-air or anti-armour weapons to the Astra Militarum.
Sabre Gun Platforms are immobile, manned emplacements used to defend strategic points. Constructed by Tech-priest Enginseers, they can be equipped with a variety of typical Imperial weapons, supplemented by a twin-linked heavy bolter. The main appeal is being able to set up anti-air defences without requiring support from Hydras.
Sabres are manned weapons, requiring a crew in the cargo. There are additional slots for extra crew, which provides bonuses as more slots are filled. Additional crew members will typically load weapons and work to cool the barrels, but they are still Guardsmen; waves of las-fire keep melee fighters at bay(Loading Crew Present: When more than one cargo slot is filled, +10% attacks and +17% melee damage reduction. When more than two cargo slots are filled, +1 action and +17% melee damage reduction.).
All firing mods have Rapid Fire and an enhanced Skyfire(+67% accuracy against flyers; -50% accuracy against ground troops). Firing normal rounds has 4 range. Swapping to AP rounds only has 3 range and slightly reduced damage but has 3 armour penetration.
Unlocked at Field Ordnance Batteries.
While power is reduced, specialised barrels mitigate this effect when facing ground vehicles; however, this makes it more difficult to aim at airborne targets(Sabre Heavy Barrels: When attacking vehicles, gain armour penetration and damage. Reduced accuracy against Flyers, Jetpacks, Jetbikes, and Skimmers).
Unlocked at Field Ordnance Batteries.
Loader Present: Requires 2 or more cargo to be fired.
Unlocked at Void Shield Generator.
Too Many Voices: Load order shouldn’t matter but I have this above it. Uses Imperial Bastion lines.
