I recently came across a Reddit post that pointed out this horrific and unforgivable oversight that Obsidian made.
For some reason, the NCR didn't think to point the Howitzer at The Fort. It has ammo and can even be fired during "Arizona Killer" so there's no real reason for it to face the wrong way.
Joke as I might, I think the little details are important, so this mod seeks to fix a minor quirk in the base game.
I also had to alter the presidential vertibird flightpath so that if the player chooses to eliminate the president with the Howitzer it faces the correct direction when it fires.
Marked as a .esm because Navmesh edits were required.
