You may not be getting rounds through, but there's a difference
between "I'll lob some rounds over that way and hope they land in the
right general area, and please God not on my own guys", vs "I'll drop
a round on those four tanks and hope I can get through their point
defenses."

(The first time I used artillery in SG2, IIRC I killed wounded enemy,
the neutral medevac chopper, and two squads of my own).

That would be changing the mechanics, which in a perfect world we
wouldn't have to do.
