== Description ==
 
The '''Long Tom Artillery Cannon''' is a scaled-down version of the [[Long Tom artillery piece]] designed for use as an onboard indirect-fire weapon. Capable of being mounted on 'Mechs, combat vehicles, and aerospace fighters, the Long Tom cannon is a snub-nosed version of the artillery piece of the same name. The Long Tom artillery cannon fires its shells in an indirect arc, dropping them down on top of enemy units.<ref name="TOp285"/>

Errata in Tactical Operations now states that the Artillery Cannons may only use standard artillery munitions. As an area-affect weapon, the Long Tom Cannon may not benefit from a targeting computer. Artillery Cannons use the Indirect LRM Fire rules to determine target numbers, but Artillery Cannons cannot make Indirect Artillery attacks. Missed shots scatter like standard artillery, but divide the scatter distance by one half to account for the smaller propellant charges.<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 285</ref>
