The Type 99 Model 1 Machinegun is a Japanese autocannon chambered in 20×72mmRB. It is based on the Oerlikon Autocannon, specifically the Oerlikon FF, and was widely used during World War II by the Imperial Japanese Navy. Known for its reliability and firepower, the Type 99 was mounted on various Japanese fighter planes and bomber aircraft, providing significant fighting capacity against both aerial and ground targets. It is relatively common in Oceanyka's arms market, since its parts are largely interchangeable with those of other Oerlikon FF derivatives.
Abilities
Common Attributes - Mechanical
Auto
This weapon is fully automatic, either inherently so or by the presence of a selective-fire mechanism.
EFFECT:
This weapon can fire more than one shot each time it is used. Each subsequent shot has a progressive penalty.
Automatic weapons are considered STABLE when they're mounted on a vehicle, tripod or turret. This is different from the Stabilised SA.
- Point Blank Range - No penalty.
- Close Range (≤10m / 2sq) -> -1
- Short Range (≤50m / 5sq) -> -2 (STABLE: -1)
- Average Range (≤200m / 10sq) -> -3 (STABLE: -1)
- Medium Range (≤500m / 20sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -1)
- Long Range (≤1000m / 50sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -3)
~ Beyond this point, automatic fire is unfeasible without a STABLE firing platform. ~ - Very Long Range (≤2000m) -> (STABLE: -3)
- Extreme Range (>2000m) -> (STABLE: -5)
