With the lack of Critical Slot Splitting being allowed right now. That leaves just the Sniper Artillery Cannon and Thumper Artillery Cannon. I would rather mount my own Artillery Weapons instead of calling an Artillery Strike.

If Critical Slot Splitting were allowed this would allow us to mount:
Long Tom Artillery Cannon
Thumper Artillery Piece
Sniper Artillery Piece
Arrow IV Artillery Missile

The Sniper Artiller Piece is found mounted on the Helepolis BattleMech
Two Arrow IV Artillery Missile Launchers are found mounted on the Catapult-C3 BattleMech

Critical Slot Splitting allows the requiered Critical Slots for large weapons to be split across an arm and adjasent side torso.

An option for allowing critical slot splitting without being abused would be to limiit the size of Hardpoints.

Limiting hardpoint size could be interesting, 'no AC20s on the K2, that is a machine gun mount' and so on.
I do eventually want to lug around my own arty, both the snubnosed cannon found in older mech games (Long tom cannon in MW4 and MC2 for example) and true artillery pieces.
