I say that art. should be used to breach. That will say, I would like to see that the time before drop is pretty high, like 5-8 secs. (or even more!) and it got a bigger spread (and maybe more shells and longer duration). Maybe drop in FOG (withoug giving LOS).

Flavoured example:
The axis has garrisoned Tanteville village with mgs, atgs, mortars etc. The allies drops a art. in middle of the village, which axis see and get the option to either 'soak it up' hoping to be lucky or withdraw from that sector. When the barrage is over, both axis and allies are going to make a dash for the village, making it a "meeting engament" in that local area. Art. is used as a stalement-breaker.

And if the axis choose to stay, the allies may press forward in cover of the art. making it hard/risky for axis to reinforce while allies risks some too. I don't know anything about coding, but in the 'eye-of-the-storm' there should be higher risk, but shells can land far from center.

I'm not going in to cost etc. Just giving my idea. Art. can be used defensivly too, but it's tricky to lure the enemy and match the incoming art. Hence, art. will be more random, but get more strategic uses. That will say, art. in itself don't give a win, but combined with your forces it does, like pinning doesn't win by itself, it helps your troops dealing the damage. It can also be used to "lock sectors", like a flank sector, negating it from the presence from both sides (due to longer duration), which in itself is a viable strategic option like trying to surround and back-cap.

so the things wont change?

I feel that a majority of off-maps should have longer drop-time, and drop more shells, but be more dispersed, and take an overall longer time to completely drop. As it is now, almost all available arty is like a Precision Strike, coming down way too fast and accurate.

My idea for some of the offmaps was something like this. Perhaps implementation with the war map would be best for it, though.
