During the Great World War II, the Allies used the first versions of the M110 howitzer as artillery units.
[edit] Background
It was essentially a treaded weapons platform with a single 155mm cannon unit, firing ballistic HE rounds. Allied commanders generally used it to weaken Soviet forces and bombard enemy bases. Although it was effective to use against Soviet defenses, Tesla coils had even greater range than M110 artillery pieces, and enough power to melt them to scrap in one blast.
[edit] In-game
The M110 was generally used as a highly effective and long range way to deal with infantry and soften up enemy formations, although because of its lack of health, slow speed, and very slow turn rate, it was very vulnerable to enemy fire, particularly by tanks. Allied commanders generally used it as a second-line unit designed to support medium tanks and light tanks
