Rigging a turret with a connecting wire?

I have a Laser tower model I got from DonutArnold.

My question is this: When it comes to rigging the turret, how I am I going to get the wire at the rear of the turret to move correctly when the turret pitches up or down to hit a target?

I am only used to very basic rigging, so any ideas will be of great help!

Link it to the part that moves up and down?

Yea, but it gets streched/compressed if he links it to just 1 bone.

I think you can set up bone weight so the verticles are affected differently - the lower they are, the less they should be affected.
Pretty sure you there is a option for that in wwskin.
