Something over 42,000,000 (yes I can write it, but I'm lazy and it doesn't look that bad when written with words) for super slow turtle, that may fall to single Warrior with LB gun. Is this worth the money?

All those C3s probably make it useful in large battles, but isn't there higher probability of loosing something like this? Lyrans can send three Hauptmanns (well maybe Hauptmänner ) to eat it for breakfast and still have some six millions left.

Interesting experimental vehicle, but I wouldn't field it.

Just how many HGRs or snub nosed Long Toms can you cramp on 3 Hauptmanns?

Long Toms 0 they take up too many crits I know I have already tried. Snipers are the biggest Arty piece you can cram in a mech and a 100 ton mech can carry 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Designed as a joint venture between the DCMS, the FS and the new Star League
the TomTom is a assault tank in ever sense of the word. Designed around 2 of
the new massive Long Tom Cannons the TomTom can deliver heavy damage at range
comparable to many of the Clan heavy weapons. Impressive electronics back up
the weapon systems of the TomTom, the most notable being the inclusion of the
new Improved C3 cpu, coupled with a targeting computer and heavy ferro fibrous
the TomTom can dish out heavy damge and use it electronics to call in or
assist other units in defeating enemies on the battlefield. Based heavily off
of the old Zhukov Heavy tank the Tomtom shares many of its lighter cousins
design features.

==Capabilities:==
The Tomtom gets its name from the paired massive Long Tom Cannons, these
cannons have been shortened to allow for easier use by a MBT. The shortened
cannons also sue a slightly less potent shell to maintain a very heavy damage
curve, though at the expense of the range of the original rounds range. 30
rounds of ammunition in case bins keep the tank reletively safe, and in the
fight for a decent amount of time. When the ranges get closer a pair of
Martell medium lasers act as back up. These weapons are tied to a new
Federated Suns supplied Targeting Computer. This allows the gunner to but
every round of ammunition to the best use. The Precentor of Comstar also made
arrangements with the DCMS to supply the new design with the new Improved C3
computers, this coupled with a ECM suite allows the tank to partner up to a
lance and coordinate fire where needed. The TomTom MBT is generally sold with
a Heavy Assult fortress, a massive 200 ton trailer that can be towed into
position and interact with the targeting gear of the TomTom.

==Deployment==
So far the new TomTom is showing up in limited numbers in the DCMS, and
Federated Suns militaries as there is a trade agreement with Comstar, Many of
the tanks are showing up in the Comstar militaries and are so far being very
well recieved.
