Wide Arc PBC

Range: 9.5 Km
Damage: Moderate
Penetration: Moderate
Rate of Fire: Moderate


This is a PBC with an enhanced angle of fire.  A series of flexible linkages and bearings allows the weapon to pivot through a wider arc than the normal gimbals allow, giving the weapon a wider fire arc.

Originally designed for point defence guns, the gimballed PBC has found a niche with slower ships that need to engage fast-moving targets. The wider arc of fire makes it easier to track a fast-moving ship like a fighter and destroy  it.
