35mm autocannon

The 35mm Autocannon is a Covenant Loyalist vehicularly-mounted weapon mounted on the Brute Chopper.

It is a semi-automatic 35mm cannon.

The 35mm Autocannon's are the primary offensive asset of Brute Chopper's, and each Brute Chopper is mounted with four linked forward-firing 35mm autocannon's.

This cannon is surprisingly powerful, its ammunition is probably a larger form of the Spiker round.

While it may seem surprising that Brutes would use such human-like ammunition, remember that Brute weaponry is not that different from humans firearms in that they both fire projectiles, not plasma rounds

It most likely uses a Gast firing mechanism.

Tactics
The 35mm Autocannon uses a very powerful shell, but has a very low rate of fire. Also, the round are too slow for mobile objectives, so you must:


 * 1) Use this gun on short-medium range
 * 2) Lead targets
 * 3) Drive forward or stop momentarily, because they're forward mounted on a mobile section of the Chopper
 * 4) Don't use this gun against multiple objectives, avoid multiple combat

When facing this weapon, you must:


 * 1) Avoid the incoming rounds, which are slow enough
 * 2) Prepare an anti vehicular weapon, because the driver will attempt to smash you
 * 3) Try to attack on teams a Chopper driver: he/she wont be able to lead and shot down multiple targets surrounding his/her craft

Remember that the 35mm Autocannon can only shoot down an enemy at a time, so don't rush among enemy formations, and don't stay there for too long

And please, don't turn your Chopper while shooting, or the rounds will hit the ground
