The Ivan Super Rail is one of the main turret options for the Ivan tank mech.

History

The rail is a weapons system that involves two electric rails and a conductive slug between them. When placed between the rails the magnetic push of the complete circuit pushes the slug outwards, accelerating it to devastating speeds if electric power is high enough. This Ivan has scaled it to incredible proportions.

The advanced high density projectile can penetrate through a lot of barriers, allowing for kills against mechs hiding behind cover. This does come at a cost of power.

Use

Aim and fire. The Super Rail is a slow firing projectile, but it can penetrate mechs and cover to hit things behind them. Each impact event however reduces the power of the slug, so you want a direct hit whenever possible.

Other Notes

Consider this a sniper cannon on steroids. It pairs well with a set of heavy sniper cannons and possibly some light rail cannons to make a sniping platform. If someone tries to hide, you can punish them with some shots through cover. Just remember, each thing you have to fire through decreases your shot power.
