Still think the profits and XP can be raised for arty play, but that's just WarGaming manipulating for less arty play in random battles.

I think it's a shame that WarGaming has to change so much of the game dynamics just to compensate players who get angry at receiving "1-shot'ed by artillery". It is a satisfying experience when you produce a "1-shot" to enemy team.

Seems to me, arty play depends less computer/connection performance, allow safer, more insulated battle experience since artys are usually distance away from head-to-head action and yet still produce those "epic win" moments when they do connect their shots... somewhat of an "instant gratification" important to video games.

Nonetheless, arty roles are important and critical to battle success in game when coordinated properly, they can be devastating.
Unfortunately, most players don't have the patience while playing video games to really learn the game mechanics/dynamics to really utilize the coordination among players in random battles.

I was plying my level 3 Bison in a level 5 game the other night. Some player made a comment in the chat window "Oh Look an extinct Bison, have fun" a couple minutes later it was "oh the Bison got a kill!!" Then a couple shots later I said "That's two", and a couple more shots, just as the game ends it was "and there is three" I don't think my Bison had ever shot that many times in a game.
