MrVic: Figured I would move a idea I had once about arty over to this
forum to let folks see it and maybe they will come up with more
ideas from it 
The basics of this.
1) SPG's get to fire more rounds and thus adding more fun time active instead of reloading as a spectator.
2) SPG's Fall into a more realistic way of fighting. More of a bombardment then a Laser guided bomb.
3) SPG's Can get lucky and hit the target with the first shell or any after that. As you fire more shells your accuracy improves simulating your gun ranging in as was the norm until the modern day.
4) SPG's Rate of fire increased. This allows them to fire more and range in faster on their target while its still in the area/visable. This is a must due to speed increase across the board to all tanks for game fun reasons.
5) SPG's Need to carry more ammo so support firing more rounds per match. 1 SPG is in essence acting as a real WW2 small battery of artillery would.
6) SPG's Targets would actually be threatened from the first shot even killed. but more so this would force them to make a choice. Stay and fight it out (staying more accurate) or make a break for it. (exposing themselves and/or reducing their combat effectiveness in accuracy due to moving) If their foolish enough to stay or move really slow the artillery will range in on them and deal massive damage if they were lucky not to be hit in the first few shells directly.
7) This would enable adding tons to the "feel" of the game. shells going off all around 2-4 SPG's working to make a wall of shelling deterring tanks from moving through an area!
8) SPG's direct fire accuracy would have to be lowered considerably that or somehow limit fast reloading to only indirect. Otherwise they would become the ultimate Tank destroyer
9) Last but not least add smoke rounds and SPG's will gain the ability to help units escape or advance by covering a assualt or retreat or helping to block the line of sight of a enemy unit in a defensive position.
Option: You could replace the large area you are targeting with any where within that vehicles "cone" of fire. So anywhere in the guns traverse arc. And you would only lose your ranging in accuracy if your SPG has to track traverse to bring it within its arc. This currently causes your aim to "unfocus" in game right now anyway
