Description:

The Long Tom is the big daddy, the owner of the single most powerful weapon the Inner Sphere has ever fielded in significant numbers. With the power to reduce many mechs to scrap, with pin-point accuracy, this gun is to be feared.

Unfortunately, the Long Tom is prone to break-down, and is very lightly armored- and armed. If a mech can get close enough to the vehicle, it's toast. Aerospace fighters are the single biggest threat to the Long Tom. Add that to the fact that it needs an extensive crew, moves at the speed of molasses in February, and is exceedingly rare- you end up with a gun that usually just gets mounted as artillery pieces in garrisons.
