Cretaceous Titanosaurs were not only the largest land animals to ever live, not only greatly surpassed their, previously thought as the biggest, late-Jurassic sauropod relatives in terms of mass but also had extremely convenient flat-back and broad flanks.
What would you mount on them?
bump stock.
Remember how in WWII Hitler had an autistic obsession with trains, so Germany had those trains with artillery guns and tanks and shit on them for no reason? Like that except convoys of dinos. Just tons and tons of cannon.

Wouldn't the feathers get in the way?
My understanding is that only some species of theropods and the flying dinosaurs had feathers, and no others did. Mostly raptors, who actually evolved into birds, hence birds of prey are also called raptors.
You have that backwards. iirc Raptor in latin means thief, plunderer, and so the birds were named as such. Later, when it was hypothesized that the small dinosaurs could and probably had a similar behaviour, they were given such name. Only after that was the link between pirts and dinos discovered.
Other than that many titanosaurs had rows of osteoderms and hardened skin plates on their backs that could provide extra friction and attachment points for mounts.

If that doesn't spell 'terror weapon' I don't know what does.
Should we really make it a manned system? A sauropod mounted drone installation would be able to mount a lot more ammo and hardware once you've cut the weight/space needed for a crew - it would also allow you to mount guns in other places on the beast, I kinda want to put a pair of 30mm guns placed on either side of its head. Maybe add some kind of pelvic flamethrower in case enemy manages to close on you and tries to attack from under the stomach.
