Background
Edit
It is a treaded weapons platform with a single 155mm cannon, firing ballistic HE rounds. Allied commanders generally use it to bombard enemy bases. Although it is effective to use against Soviet defenses, Tesla coils have even greater range than artillery pieces, and enough power to melt them to scrap in one blast.
In-game UnitEdit
The artillery is generally used as a highly effective and long range way to deal with infantry and soften up enemy formations. Because of its lack of proper armour, slow speed, and very slow turn rate, it is very vulnerable to enemy fire, particularly by tanks. It is also outranged by Tesla coils.
LegacyEdit
Tiberium UniverseEdit
It was upgraded with a bigger cannon with its own piece of HE projectile and became the artillery unit of the Brotherhood of Nod in the First Tiberium War.
Red Alert UniverseEdit
The Artillery was phased out and replaced by the Prism tank during the Third World War.
TriviaEdit
Like its Tiberian Dawn counterpart, the Mobile Artillery was modelled after the M110 Howitzer.
