The Tri-mounted Laser Cannon was created to help give the A1-35 an edge over infantry forces, it's three laser cannons molded into one, giving it more firepower and the ability to suppress enemy positions. The turreted design means that it can pivot three hundred and sixty degrees, and can angle itself one hundred and twenty degrees. This gives it the potential to be used for shooting down low flying aircraft.
It has the appearance of a turret platform with three laser cannon stacked side by side, it's got a gimble like setting that gives it its ability to pivot about the area. There are heat sinks on the left and right of the cannons to filter the heat.
The Laser cannon's firing mechanism is a simple one, it stores energy in small capacitors located in both in the laser turret itself or in the tanks turret. Then, when fired, discharges this energy through the cannon assembly.
