Evolution of artillery tactics

Artillery tactics have evolved significantly from ancient times to the modern era. Initially, artillery like catapults was used for siege warfare, focusing on delivering heavy projectiles to breach fortifications. Over time, with the development of gunpowder and cannons, artillery became more mobile and integrated into battlefield strategies. By World War I, tactics evolved to include indirect fire and concentration of firepower for maximum impact. Today, advancements in technology allow for precision strikes and real-time targeting, making artillery a crucial component of modern warfare, able to support ground troops while minimizing collateral damage.
