Mighta hit something. Wasn’t lookin’.

I imagine calling in an artillery strike would make you feel very powerful. Like a God doing a spot of smiting.

Maxim 57: Artillery exists to launch large chunks of budget at an enemy it cannot actually see.

Tell that to the 0341s

The 155th battery held out from dusk to dawn fighting tanks at 50m range and shot down two Messerschmidts with bren-guns, all while resupplying from a burning ammunition dump.

But sure, sitting in a armored box that can reverse faster than a man can sprint is more heroic.
