What does an artillery unit do?
During WW1, it was typical to use the artillery to destroy the enemy's fortifications and trenches. During WW2, the field artillery was more precise and could directly support an infantry unit. When the infantry came up against armor or a fortified enemy position, such as a machine gun bunker, they could call in precise coordinates and the artillery could be directed to destroy that target. Large artillery was used to fire at long ranges at targets behind the front lines and to destroy the enemy's artillery positions.
