==Description==
'''Artillery Cannons''' are variations of standard [[artillery]] pieces.  These smaller, snub-nosed versions of [[Long Tom]]s, [[Sniper Artillery Piece|Sniper]]s and [[Thumper Artillery Piece|Thumper]]s provide for area-effect fire at the expense of their typical firing range.  Development of Artillery Cannons was begun independently by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] in [[3000]] and [[Clan Wolf]] in [[3030]], with production starting in [[3012]] and [[3032]] respectively.  Despite this, full-scale production has not yet commenced, making them a rare sight on the battlefield. To date the [[Long Tom Cannon]], [[Sniper Cannon]], and [[Thumper Cannon]] have only been seen on a few prototype units.<ref name="TOp285">''Tactical Operations'', p. 285, "Artillery Cannon"</ref>

Artillery cannons follow the rules for indirect LRM fire to attack, but still resolve damage as standard artillery and scatter distance is divided by half.  While able to use the same ammunition as full-scale artillery, they cannot benefit from a [[Targeting Computer]].<ref name="TOp285"/>
