In Stronghold battles, even the unicums camp hard…

Artillery ought to be more geared towards area denial: the consumable keeps hitting the same location for a period of time to threaten anyone trying to drive through.

What about the way WT:GF has it implemented? you call an arty down, 3 seconds later first couple of shells (3-4) drop to get the range for the rest of them right and after about another 3-5 seconds the full barrage falls.

This could work in WoT too! no need of a warning or anything, when the ranging shells start hitting, you’ll know which area is getting bombed and can get the hell out.
It would be useful for making the enemy expose themselves as you bomb the area behind their cover, forcing them to leave or stay and die.

You should look up “time on target.” All of the rounds arriving near the same time is more realistic than what you would think.

And then your whole Stronghold gets demolished due to a meltdown, because Russian reactor technology is “da best!”.

This’ll be fun to use. All of those retarded camping NA teams will have to think twice.

Russian arty isnt known for half-measures, so thats probably where the scope of the bombardment is coming from. I do think there should be a delay between ordering the strike and its arrival, plus some warning for the observant. Say muzzle-flashes lighting up the the horizon on the appropriate side of the map, and a 10 second delay on arrival. Enough time for the alert to try to scatter, which may or may not succeed. Which has its own problems- scattering may well involve exposing your position and taking direct fire, or giving up your defensive position which may be a disaster against a well-coordinated attack, and not knowing where the bombardment is targeted which may lead to EVERY tank on the targeted side having to decide whether its staying or going, along with the attendant risks. Could be interesting.
