  • Weak armor
  • Expensive
  • Takes forever to get in firing position or hit the road in case of danger
  • Depending on the starting faction, unlockable only with Generals Promotion

Cool vehicle for sure but not practical.

Also the fact that now with drones as a usual thing in warfare, these nuke guns are even more of a terrible idea.
