the rail gun accelerator is the new support power available exclusively to the steel talons subfaction. put simply, when the support power is used, it increases the rate of fire of all of your railgun equipped units by roughly 33%. however its immediate drawback is that units will gradually lose up to 33% health over time while this ability is in use. this means that you will have to use the ability carefully and at the correct moment of the game.
轨道炮加速器是钢爪子阵营专有的新支援技能。简单来说，这个技能可以使所有配备轨道炮的单位的射速增加大概33％左右。不过它的代价是在技能起作用的时间内，所有单位将会逐渐损失大约33％的血量。他意味着你必须小心的使用它，而且一定要把握好使用的时机。
the support power affects the following units - only when they are upgraded with railguns (so don’t try and use it without researching the upgrade)
支援能力影响的单位——只有当他们升级了轨道炮以后才行（所以不要在没有研究升级的时候使用它）
titan
泰坦
mammoth tank
猛犸
rig
多功能车
guardian cannon
防御加农炮
when to use the support power?
什么时候使用它？
so you have the railgun upgrade and the support power all ready but when should you use it?
你拥有轨道炮升级并且支援技能准备就绪了，那么什么时候你应该使用它呢？
in all honesty the "ideal situation" does not exist and its purely situational. however a good rule of thumb will be to utilize the support power when you are facing superior numbers on either offense or defense, as it can help turn the tides in your favor and limit your losses. remember that the guardian cannon is also affect and so when used correctly the guardian cannon can do more damage than the sonic emitter and they are much cheaper and consume far less power.
老实说，所谓“理想条件”是不存在的，这完全是依情况而定。不过，凭经验来说，你应该在你面对数量超于你的侵犯或抵抗的时候使用它，因为它可以帮你扭转战局，降低你的损失。记住它对防御加农炮也有作用，所以正确使用它，防御加农炮可以造成比音波塔还要多的伤害，而它们比音波塔要便宜和省电得多。
having units such as the mobile repair transport, rig, or simply being in the vicinity of war factory’s repair drones is crucial as it is needed to help offset the increased damage that your units will take. the rig is especially helpful as it can be repaired as a normal vehicle which providing a substantial firepower boost in the form of the dual guardian cannons and the aa rockets.
当你拥有移动修理运兵车，多功能车或者在重工的修理范围之内时，用它们来降低你的部队所受的伤害是至关重要的。多功能车尤其有效，因为它既可以像普通车辆一样被修理的，同时又拥有两个加农炮台＋防空火箭的持续打击能力。
adaptive armor
适应性装甲
when used, the support power will cost a titan around half of its hit points, excluding enemy fire. but with adaptive armor, researched from the tech center, the loss of hit points is only 1/4. as a result using adaptive armor in conjunction to the railgun accelerator is well worth the use.
当使用这个支援能力的时候，你的泰坦要付出大约一半血量的代价，这还不算敌人的攻击造成的伤害。不过配合高科里升级的适应性装甲，血量的损失可以减少到只有1/4。因此，配合使用适应性装甲和轨道炮加速会物超所值。
in addition you also gain emp immunity. the main drawback of adaptive armor is a lowered rate of fire, however with the support power enabled, this disadvantage is far surpassed and leaves you with a deadly combination of units which have increased health and rate of fire.
此外，你可以免疫emp的攻击。适应性装甲的不足是减慢射速，不过当支援能力起作用时，这个缺点就不复存在了，它只会让你拥有一支增强了血量和射速的致命部队。
summary
总结
if employed properly, the loss of hit points is nothing compared to the amount of damage that this support power can allow your units to unleash.
如果正确使用，损失的血量比起这项能力带来的攻击力的巨大提升来说，是微不足道的。
when used on its own, it can be a gamble. but when used in conjunction with repair units and adaptive armour - the support power becomes much less of a gamble and even more formidable.
单独使用它的话，是一场赌博。不过如果可以配合修理单位和适应性装甲——这项支援能力就会变的另对手胆寒。
use it correctly and it has the serious potential to swing a situation that looked dire, swiftly into your favor.
正确使用它，它可以让你逢凶化吉，化险为夷。
