A trick that the artillery use to control the time in flight problem is the 1/3-2/3 rule.
Whenever the front line retreats to within 1/3 of the artillery's range, they relocate the batteries back. If the front lines advance to outside 2/3 of the range, the batteries relocate forward.
Sounds silly, I know, but it minimizes the time in flight across the gun's most useful range.
