Sky cancer having negative gun depression: is this historical?

Then I wondered, why the [edited]can arty aim to the ground? When was that EVER useful for artillery in the real world? And now I'm on the forums, asking the historians to confirm / deny the fact that sky cancer can not only click me from across the map, but also click me in close-quarter combat with some ridiculous traverse and gun depression. Since this game is pseudo-historical, maybe we could petition for a change? Arty needs complete close-range weakness as a trade-off for complete long-range domination. I think this is a wonderful idea.
