artillery units
Heavy weapons teams
Artillery units are military formations equipped with heavy weapons—cannons, howitzers, rocket launchers—that fire projectiles over long distances.
They provide fire support for ground forces, bombard enemy positions, and defend against armor and aircraft.
The artillery units softened enemy defenses before the infantry advanced.
In strategy games, artillery units typically deal high damage but move slowly and require protection.
