I wish SPG!

Considering I tank more a tour then you did in a year, I would know. In a neutral spawn artillery would hold the advantage until the spawn gets broken or the attack collapse.
In 7 out of 10 attacks, I see it broken, unless there is a major push then 3/10 generally can keep the fight going on - in which case you don't routinely have aircrafts flying over the spawn.

6 GV battles today, not one time did my panther get picked up attacking an enemy field or V-base, I say its give or take, adding an artillery piece means you better have a friendly in a wirbl next to you or you will pay the consequences.
so It even's out being BVR and indirect artillery, which also requires someone giving you supplies.

Edited:

Artillery or SPG would not change the balance of tanking, in fact it offers more targets for a defender, considering the limited Anti tank ammunition they carry if little at all as AKAK said. It would be an interesting add down the road, for example if they add a STUG-G (for example) then a H wouldn't be to hard to re-model with a 10.5cm gun.

Just as an example, one reason a stug-G and M4-105 would be an interesting add later on.

well considering how much tanking you do, then you would realize that arty would be the first to get nailed by planes anywhere.   and I always thought the new tank driving system was to avoid the 5 or 6k battles that we used to have in the past.  if arty ever gets added it would ony be used to hit a town from a hill far away withouth making it blink in other words to pad scores.  arty was never meant to be in the middle of a tank battle  that's why they had lots of infantry around.

How do you pad score on something that's entirely inaccurate? LOL you can't, secondly some spawns are further then 6k from a base, so technically it should be no where near a tank battle.
True... if you up an artillery piece at a camped spawn - you will die.

True if aircraft are flying over you will be strafed.

Look at the M-18, Its not a death trap as many say it is.

m18 don't sit in one place.   arty. will only spawn and hit from range that would make tigers sitting on base jealous.
