Description:

The second phase of General Baelor's Iron Warriors Project focuses on artillery. The second vehicle produced under Phase 2 is the IW-02B Tannhauser. The Tannhauser is designed to act as a heavy artillery platform for the One Sith military. Like its smaller cousin, the Lohengrinn, It's focus, and only focus, is long range destruction. To this end, it has been outfitted with six artillery cannons, two missile launchers on each 'arm', and two missile launcher pods on each side. This give the Tannhauser unrivaled destructive power.

Much like it's smaller cousin, the Tannhauser's extreme focus on firepower has left it with faults. The large size of the machine has left it with very slow movement speed. The focus on range offense also means it lacks close-range defensive capabilities. The Tannhauser must rely on allied armor, or infantry, to defend it in battles. It also cannot fire unless stationary. The six artillery cannons also cannot fire independently. They are split into groups of three, meaning the Tannhauser can only fire at two targets at a time.

I'm afraid you are going to have to tone this down. Way down.

http://starwarsrp.net/topic/16096-cis-pounder-heavy-mech-purged-submission/for reference.

This thing more than doubles that's armament and includes deflector shields.

I honestly can't think of a way to keep the 6 artillery cannons and have anything else not even mentioning the 4 missile launchers without a serious weakness or this thing being huge and being reduced to minor production.

Height: 14 metres
Length: 16metres
Width: 14metres
Weight: 250 tonnes

Much larger, about twice as big in terms of height and width.

6 x Artillery Cannon
Ammunition Type: 155mm Artillery Shell
Rate of Fire: 24 shells per minute (4 per cannon)
Effective Range: 20km Max Range: 40km

2 x Missile Launcher 'Arms'
Ammunition Type: Missiles
Rate of Fire: 16 missiles per minute (8 per launcher)
Effective Range: 15km Max Range: 30km

2 x Missile Launcher Pods
Ammunition Type: Missiles
Rate of Fire: 16 missiles per minute (8 per launcher)
Effective Range: 15km Max Range: 30km

I'm going to need an ammunition capacity for these missile launchers and the rough size of the ammunition. Shoulder Fire sized, Starfighter, capital, assault grade?

Doubled the size, made it heavier. Added ammo capacity and ammo size.

Alright, so I need you to halve the Ammunition Capacity of the Missile Launchers, and based on the size these aren't ICBM's so I am going to ask that the rage come down as well. MHAT's are 8km, so that should be fine for these.

Lastly, I am going to ask that you include some information that the main weapons (The 6 Artillery weapons) cannot fire unless stationary, and limit the targets they can take (IE 2 Triple Weapons instead of 6 individual ones).

6 Artillery Guns per walker with the extra weapons is going to be rough, but seeing as the vehicle out sizes an AT-AT, I can see it, but I urge you to be very careful with this vehicle.
