They certainly did love artillery (as Stalin called it, artillery was "Bog Voyny", i.e. God of War)

The Soviet forces had a 3 to 1 Numerical Superiority over NATO in Artillery. They also had a Range Superiority in each class of howitzer. We had a much better "hit probability" with our electronics assistance and a much better CEP (circular error, probability) per gun than the Soviets. It was a "crap shoot" as to who would prevail in an artillery duel.
