==Description==
The '''Sniper Artillery Cannon''' is a scaled down version of the [[Sniper Artillery Piece]] capable of direct fire. When mounted on [[BattleMechs]], [[combat vehicles]], and [[Aerospace fighter|AeroSpace Fighters]], it provides artillery support at much closer ranges than its cousin. Essentially a snub-nosed version of the Sniper Artillery Piece, the Sniper Artillery Cannon fires a shell at an enemy location like an [[autocannon]]. Unlike an autocannon, the artillery cannon's targeted location isn't an enemy unit but a physical location (hill, tree, hex).<ref name="TOp285"/>
+
The Sniper Cannon is the smaller cousin to the [[Long Tom Cannon]] designed by [[Armstrong Industries]]
  
== Rules ==
 
<div class="gamerules">
 
== Game Rules ==
 
Errata in ''Tactical Operations'' now states that the Artillery Cannons may only use standard artillery munitions. As an area-affect weapon, the Sniper 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 name="TOp285"/>
