Cannon Mount

Here's the thing that connects the cannon to the chassis. It should look like this:

Gameplay-wise, we can handle this in two ways: either the connector basically provides a visual of the cannon's possible arc (which would be rather small) and the cannon sits between it and the chassis, or the connector moves with the cannon and just becomes a part of it (basically used just to cover up the joint).

I'm personally a fan of the "visual arc" idea- I think the cannon's turning arc should be very small (smaller than the 45 degrees we talked about earlier, Tom). This will force the carriage to move more, which equals another obstacle and more zombie-killing.

Let me know how it works out (post a screen).
