Sweet shit, look at the size of the thing, the magazines are going to have to be massive!

[QUOTE=SatansSin;34463903]I can only think of this as Syndicate style, hone in on an enemy, fire it, and it'll trace to the target. Though if they go behind a wall, what does it do? Does it go at the wall where the target last was or?[/QUOTE]It just patiently waits for them.

Imagine standing behind a mountain with an HMG and a fuckton of this ammo while someone designates targets on the other side with a laser pointer. Your bullets would arc over the mountain and you could rain lead on the enemy from miles away like artillery support.

Helicopters equipped with hellfire missiles are trained to arc hellfires over obstructions to targets being designated by other laser designators. Gunship is never exposed and the hellfires are no less accurate. It even gets more complicated than simple infantry. American gunships often work with OH-58 Kiowas, which use their superior agility and omnidirectional laser designator to do all sorts of ninja tricks.

The British war office rejected the idea at the time, but De Mole made several more proposals to the British War Office in 1914 and 1916, and formally requested he be recognised as the inventor of the Mark I tank. The British Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors eventually made a payment of £987 to De Mole to cover his expenses and promoting him to an honorary corporal.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Electrocuter;34467806]Why can't we have tanks with multiple cannon turrets again, they look so awesome.

Now when message couriers get shot, if they're lucky, the bullet will ACTUALLY be able to stop and climb back into the gun! :v:

In its first action during a dense winter fog, the rear turret accidentally fired into the center turret. The resulting explosion completely destroyed the vehicle. The second prototype was completed in January 1942, and was sent to the Leningrad front. This one had indicators installed to show whe another turret was in the line of fire. In its initial attack on the Germans, the tank broke in half when crossing a ravine. A spark ignited the leaking flamethrower fuel and the resulting explosion completely destroyed the vehicle. The third prototype, shown here, had a reinforced hull and was also sent to the Leningrad front in early 1942. It did manage to shoot down three German aircraft. In its first ground engagement, the KV-VI was firing on German positions when coincidentally all of the guns fired from the 3 O'Clock position a the same time. The tremendous recoil tipped the tank into a ditch and the severe jostling set off the 152mm ammunition, which completely destroyed the vehicle. After these failures, Stalin cancelled the project, and many of the design team members spent the rest of their lives in the Gulags of Sibera. The KV-VI was nicknamed "Stalin's Orchestra" by the few Germans that encountered it because of the variety of weapons it deployed.[/QUOTE] :v:
