The Thunderfire Cannon is a large, multi-barreled cannon on treads that is operated by a Space Marine Techmarine.

雷火炮是一种大型多管火炮，由星际战士技术军士操作。

Overview 概述

An exception to the general rule regarding Space Marine weaponry being highly portable, the Thunderfire Cannon is most commonly used in terrain where mobile artillery platforms (i.e. Whirlwind) cannot operate, or when a defensive emplacement must be maintained. These colossal weapons are mounted on rugged tracks which provides a level of mobility, although they are most often deployed Thunderhawk Gunships or other transports.

作为关于星际战士武器高度便携的一般规则的一个例外，雷火炮最常用于移动火炮平台（即旋风）无法操作的地形，或者必须维护防御阵地的地形。这些巨大的武器安装在结实的履带上，提供了一定程度的机动性，尽管它们最常部署在雷鹰炮艇或其他运输工具上。

Their quad-barrel nature allows for a punishing rate of fire, and each Cannon is capable of firing three different varieties of shot. The first type of shell detonates on surface contact, commonly used against infantry in the open, while the airburst shell is employed against infantry taking cover. The most devastating, however, are the subterranean shells, programmed to burrow into the ground before exploding. The resulting explosion causes seismic disruptions which can knock the enemy off-balance, making them easier targets for follow-up fire. This affects even grav-vehicles, whose anti-gravity generators are negatively impacted by the sub-surface shockwaves caused by the shells.

它们的四联枪管特性允许持久的开火，每门炮能够发射三种不同类型的子弹。第一种炮弹在接触地面时引爆，通常用于对付开阔地带的步兵，而空爆炮弹则用于对付掩护步兵。然而，最具破坏性的是地下弹药，它们被编程为在爆炸前钻入地下。由此产生的爆炸会造成地震破坏，使敌人失去平衡，使他们更容易成为后续火力的目标。这甚至影响到反重力车辆，其反重力发生器受到炮弹引起的地下冲击波的负面影响。
