Artillery

"I took ballistics in school. Fascinating subject! Things go up, things go down!"

– Company of Heroes

"Artillery is the god of modern war."

– Joseph Stalin

"In peace the cry is for mobility, in war for weight of shell."

– Alan Brooke

If you were to ask any man who loved a good defense and strategy what they loved the most, some would tell you it's the sounds of men marching onto victory. That or the sounds of a thousand ton heavy rain of explosive lead and fire on an unsuspecting enemy. Ever since cannons existed, humanity has long searched a way to perfect the art of throwing highly unstable projectiles very far away. And once World War One hit, we finally reached the pinnacle of warfare, namely; artillery cannons. And it was horrifyingly glorious.
