Description
Vehicular Dual Turret (or Dual Turrets (Vehicular)) is a piece of equipment that is available to both ground and naval Combat & support vehicles. The Dual Turrets allows designers setup a vehicle to have multi-weapons mounted in two seperate, allowing to split a vehicle's weapon fire with great fire arc.
The two turrets configuration are mounted to the forward and to the rear of the vehicle, which are designated as Forward Turret (FT) and Rear Turret (RT). As part their construction, forward turret is unable to aim to rear of vehicle. While the rear turret is set higher than the Forward turret, giving it 360 degree turning arc.[1]
Originally developed in Pre-Spaceflight Era[2], the Dual Turret was considered Experimental Technology until 3080, when they would become commonly produced equipment for various Inner Sphere and Clan factions.[3]
