If you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain artillery, listen up!
As many of us know, there is no medium artillery piece. People have requested it off and on with no success.
Well, based on the announced rebalance coming, now would be a good time to try to get it done again.
I made the following pitch on the Pixonic Discord. Seems like it'd be an easy thing for them to implement and might fit in with the rebalance philosophy. If you agree, please go give it a "thumbs up." If you don't like artillery, please just ignore it. It doesn't stand much chance of happening, anyway. At least let us have some hope we'd get another bell/whistle added rather than pure overpower getting added.

Could handle seeing a medium and small Nashorn, Kang Dae and Trident.
A small Zeus/Ion.

I think we need a straight up mortar bot. Like, one that could just 「fluffernutter」ing destroy a beacon with an orbital strike or something.

Remember when there was KoTH mode. Remember when it was added to random mode and we were all forced to play it. Remember how the whole team stood on a beacon to collect points. My Noricum Patton remembers.

The artillery exist in the game for 2 reasons.
1) To get brand new players out of the habit of camping
2) To get slightly experienced players to recognize that artillery parks are inefficient.
That’s why they are cheap silver weapons available very early in the game. They are not intended to be mainstay weapons for Champions League hangers, they are meant to be a learning tool for inexperienced players, who can then discard them without having invested too much Ag and time into them.
Adding a medium artillery piece is a waste of time since the noricum and zenrit serve the purpose. In fact it may be counterproductive since it may take linger for hew players to let go of the artillery and move to more competitive weapons.

Only reason I could see a need for medium artillery is if you want to run something like a fenrir or Lancelot |

The weapons may serve that purpose now but that was not what they did when initially implemented. They were Ag because all weapons were Ag. They are super weak because they have been forgotten and the power creep is so insane now that they appear as if they are weak on purpose to discourage their use. |

My recommendations for improving ZENITS/NORICUM:
A) Having said weapons lay minefields
B) Allowing them to fire as PINATAS/TRIDENTS
(Both while maintaining the same reload mechanic)
has fallen upon deaf ears....
