This is the first failure of the Golden Gear Industries.
Designed in 1820 to be an anti-airship and anti-airbase cannon it is also used as artillery.
One of the problems of this machine is his height, that makes it very unstable, also his length makes it impossible to move on even hilly areas.
The other problem of this machine is his cannon, way to powerful for a mobile platform.
The recoil of the gun when fired makes the ground shake so hard that the whole structure sinks into the ground, and it takes hours to be able to move again.
Also, the cannon's loading system does not allow the gun to be fired under 20° of elevation, which means the gun has no gun depression, making it useless when firing when rising hills (when the machine is able to)
When fired, a 2km radius area should be kept clear and the crew should remain inside the structure.
If anyone stands within this area, when the gun is firing, he would loose his hearing for a long time if not forever.
Under 600m from the cannon means death due to the sudden compression of the air.
However, this war machine is able to destroy or cause collateral damages to an airbase in one or two shots!

And then the barrel droops from its own weight and has to be replaced.

Regardless it looks cool, and your observations on its practicality are a nice touch.
