Triple 25

The Triple 25 is a Japanese anti-aircraft weapon of World War II, featured in Call of Duty: World at War.

Overview
The Triple 25 is encountered in Call of Duty: World at War by the player as the triple mounted version during the mission "Hard Landing", when attacking and later defending the airfield. This weapon is also encountered in the mission "Relentless". In some levels, this can be mounted and used against the Japanese soldiers, or used at an outpost to move up during multiplayer or split-screen. The Triple 25 is effective against Japanese soldiers on foot because of the splash damage, since it's an anti-aircraft cannon. The weapon is also proficient at taking out tanks and other vehicles, both land and air based.

In the multiplayer levels "Hangar" and "Airfield", there are many Triple 25s, however are all unusable and act simply as decoration.

Tips

 * The Triple 25 can tear through practically anything in its line of fire, but has a slow tracking speed, so it's generally a good idea to "blanket" an area with a horizontal stream of fire, or lead shots for better accuracy.


 * The Triple 25 doesn't overheat, so the gunner can fire relentlessly into an area until all enemies have been eliminated.


 * In cooperative, it is a handy way of supporting teammates, especially for reviving them when using the Painkiller cheat. However, when using this in combination with the Victory cheat, bear in mind that the friendly fire could down them again.


 * In Hard Landing, it can take out everything the Japanese counter attack throws at the Airfield. Generally the best one to use is the raised one toward the other end of the building since it has the best lines of sight. But be aware that being in such an exposed position will mean almost everything in the counter attack will be firing back at you.


 * Have a finger ready near the "Use" button, since lots of enemies shooting or a grenade landing next to you could mean a choice between hopping off the gun or an irritating death.
 * The rotation of the Triple 25 is slower than the player, which means that despite the player's cross-hair being pointed at an enemy, he will have to wait for the gun to catch up and be aiming at it too. The Triple 25's barrels will return on screen when it is pointing in the desired direction.

Trivia

 * When the Triple 25 hits an infantry, the soldier will be gibbed and the sound of blood splattering can be heard.
 * In Hard Landing, all the Triple 25s are pointed towards the sky, as they are aiming the F4U Corsairs. However, in Relentless, the Triple 25 is pointed to the ground without reason.
