I disagree. Artillery are indirect fire weapons, they require training and infrastructure to use, they require forward observers, and they are not tremendously mobile (and when they are in motion they are generally inoperable!). Even if a team walks into a targeted area with an observation post they are unlikely to be directly taken out if they are in their vehicles, and taking out the vehicles is likely to require a direct hit (unless they are in something like an XR311). Given the mobility of a typical team, getting killed by artillery is generally going to require bad luck, bad planning, or the kind of enemy force that is gross overkill for a game.
