Artillery (Tiberian Dawn)

During the Great World War II between the Allies and the Soviets, the Allies used the first versions of the M110 howitzer as artillery units. It was essentially a treaded weapons platform with a single 155mm cannon unit, firing ballistic HE rounds. Allied commanders generally used it to weaken Soviet forces and bombard enemy bases. Although it was effective to use against Soviet defenses, Tesla coils had even greater range than M110 artillery pieces, and enough power to melt them to scrap in one blast.

The M110 was generally used as a highly effective and long range way to deal with infantry and soften up enemy formations, although because of its lack of health, slow speed, and very slow turn rate, it was very vulnerable to enemy fire, particularly by tanks. Allied commanders generally used it as a second-line unit designed to support medium tanks and light tanks

During the First Tiberium War, Nod used the M110 artilery alongside the G6 howitzer as a powerful and long range weapon. Due to the GDI's lack of extremely long range defenses, the artillery had longer range than all enemy defenses, including the advanced guard tower, when used properly.

Its ability to damage buildings and infantry was highly appreciated during this period, giving Nod another way to destroy its opponents.
