It would seem that "NM" (C10.26) is reasonable, given the very slow setup time. But to categorically disallow a gun with a 360 deg mounting firing outside of their CA seems too harsh.

Could is a maybe and speed is the determining factor. If it takes more than 2 minutes to turn 60 degrees, it isn't something that can change CA in game terms.A powerful but very heavy
gun that took much time to emplace or limber. It was probably used at corps or army
level. In reality it could have 360° traverse,
but not at the speed necessary for it to qualify as a T gun in the game.
...longer than an ASL scenario, apparently........... if you're prepared to take the ASL specifics literally.note 23 says

Note 24 eliminates the could but focuses on the speed. How long did it take to turn the gun?
Yep, one I am soon to play, as it turns out.Indeed it does. Query whether the rapid change of positions takes into account an emplacement with that large a piece of equipment. Changing direction in an a tactical emplacement might be more difficult than in a strategic rear location 10+ miles from the focal point.
Are there any scenarios where this gun is used?
It's always a hoot dealing with under trained forces and brings back memories when I was an advisor to the forming new Iraqi Army.Reminds me of a story in The Silent Warriors about the Alamo Scouts. They had been supplying the Philippine Guerilla's with weapons, and getting requests for large amounts of bazooka rockets.
When the Alamo Scout Team Leader checked on it, he found they had been firing the Bazookas at individual Japanese soldiers.
