well that tank isn't going anywhere fast.  personally I would swap the Arrow IV in exchange for an Artillery Cannon so as to allow it to bring the LRM more easily to bear.  it also enhances your tactical indirect fire options.

  The Maus is pretty slow but it can go 3/5 on a road. I would be more concerned with bridge crossings although it can traverse depth 1 water. I chose the Arrow IV because of its range, variable ordinance capability and the ability to fire indirectly without a spotter. Besides, I think most of the Artillery Cannons weigh more than an Clan Arrow IV and also may be Inner Sphere technology base.

artillery cannons were developed by Clan Wolf in 3030.  you are correct that a long tom cannon would weigh in at 20 tons, compared to 12 for the Arrow IV
