Rod of God

The Rod of God was a gimbal turret designed by TheMasterOfToastyBread, a C.G.I. engineer. This turret was part of a wave of new ACF designs for C.G.I. during the Sandbox Continental War. It was used as a make-shift air support, where the user could laze targets for it. The Rod of God was eventually phased out as gimbal turrets became illegal.
==Design==
This turret's source of firepower came from the eight 203mm howitzers. They would fire one-by-one in a single burst, providing a sustained rain of fire from the sky. Its aiming mechanism used a wiremod pod controller, which had to be connected to a wiremod remote controller. From there, the user could use the remote controller to aim the Rod of God and fire it. However, aiming with the remote controller left the user immobilized. Finally, there was a wiremod ranger that served as a red laser sight to assist in aiming.
This simple design made the Rod of God extremely powerful when positioned correctly. It needed to be in the sky with plenty of visibility while still being accessible. The main strategy was to spawn it on the tallest building in the map. However, the Rod of God spawned elevated from where the Tool Gun was aimed at, so the user would have to noclip up to the turret to link it with the remote controller. There was no armor plating on this turret, so it had no way of dealing with returning fire, though it was hard to hit if it was far up in the sky.
