Artillery plays a signifcant role in support. There are many times where I aid others with cover fire.

Most players don't do well with artillery because they don't know how to use them correctly, especially when it comes to predicting fire locations.

In some cases where artillery can be useful is:
 * Noricum can take down ancile/Carnage/Fuijin shields very effectively. You may think it does sh!t damage, but that's because only a few parts of the barrage actually hit the target. Because of the size of shields, most (if not all) Noricum shots will hit a shield which does nearly 30k/60k/90k/120k shield damage in total (Depending on level and amount of noricums).
 * Zenits can harass permanent/temporary campers to force them to move out, which can be useful if your teammates need a clear shot to take them down.
 * Both weapons can finish off targets without direct combat, whether they are behind cover or free-moving

Everyone says "But you can use better weapons and support allies at close range". The thing is, you will be subjected to fire by enemies as well and your allies' problems/weaknesses are also your problems/weaknesses.
