Only present on the custom map "Operation Ketsu4".
Intended as a siege mortar to bombard fortifications in mainland Japan. Having a calibre of 36 inches (914mm), right beside the British "Mallet's Mortar" made for but never used in the Crimean War it is one of the most high calibre weapon ever built. The whole piece weighed 78.000kg and would be split up in two parts for two 40 ton artillery tractors to transport. It would be accompanied by an dedicated bulldozer and crane to dig the mortar in to place. It would be ready to fire after twelve hours of initial setup.
