The Long Tom Cannon is a heavy artillery piece made famous by the Long Tom Carrier SPG. The Long Tom was later adapted for use on 'Mechs. This weapon does a whopping 30 dammage over a decent sized splash, and can anhilate most light 'Mechs with one direct hit. However, the Long Ton weighs a truly massive 30 tons (as much as a Spider!). A ton of ammo gives only five shells, so missing can be costly. Even the Atlas can only carry one of these fearsome weapons.

MWO Availability

The Long Tom is available during 3049 and 3050. The Long Tom has been mentioned by Garth in Ask The Devs 27.
