(1) to drive. (2) for gunnery control (3) for section commander position. (4) for loader's hatch. Drive is VTOL + Trim for each track. Main gun traverse is Trim, main gun elevation is VTOL. 12.7mm gun traverse is Roll, 12.7mm elevation is Pitch. All hatches and travel lock are throttle. The M120 howitzer is a self-propelled howitzer in Paternian Army service. Built off a unique chassis to provide a standardized SPG chassis based off existing components, it is capable of accurately firing a shell at ranges of up to 20km. Upgrades to ammunition and gun extended this range to 50km. In addition, it can fire a variety of other projectiles, including tactical nuclear warheads, Copperhead guided shells, rocket-assisted projectiles, cluster munitions, and FASCAM (Family of Scatterable Mines) shells. Entering service in 1960, the M120 has served the Paternian Army since. The vehicle is armored enough to protect it from indirect fire and 7.62mm AP ammunition.

@DankDorito Sure!
@Pilotmario Permission to use this turret?
@Pilotmario yeah, Hence the name of the MTTD, Multi Terrain Tank Destroyer :P it's rather meant for close quarters as you mentioned lol
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation It was designed for indirect fire. While this thing can be used in close range as an assault gun as it is fitted with prismatic periscopic gun sights and a 12.7mm machine gun, such a capability is secondary, and only incorporated to give the vehicles a fighting chance if forced to fight at close ranges.
Your MTTD is better at direct fire. Built off the chassis of a main battle tank, it can actually take a few hits from substantial weapons. As it is built off the chassis of the current main battle tank in your service, it can accompany them more easily. While its range is limited by its mount, this is less of an issue when employing the vehicle in direct fire. I suppose it does have a quadrant for long-range indirect fire, but I assume this function is secondary.
Really nice, I'm sure it has far more long range artillery capabilities than the MTTD 😃
