If they manage to hit their target, sure. The problem is that the
target usually won't be where the grenades fall (in real life due to
the tanks moving at very high speeds, in DSII due to the tanks getting
a warning "ranging shot" before the real salvo arrives unless the
artillery are firing over open sights). 

Furthermore, in real life both stealth/ECM and point defence works
against guided or self-guiding AT artillery munitions - only so-so at
the moment, but it won't take long before they work far too well for my
taste. They should in DSII as well, though at the moment they don't.
