Artillery is quite unpopular and often underestimated, particularly in comparison to tanks. Yet, particularly even "dumb" artillery, so without specialized anti-tank or guided / high-precision ammunition. For this I talked to a German Ukraine Legion member, additionally I looked at German WW2 sources and also a US Field Artillery journal that looked at US and Soviet data from various tests.
