In-Depth Artillery Discussion

Lately, on the weaponry-side forums of ATS, we've been finding a constant barrage of historical news, 'MY #REE IS BETR THN YRS.' threads, and interesting developments.

While I enjoy two out of those three -- They are not the sort of things we can get too-indepth about; theoretics, country-propagandizing. Etc. Furthermore, they're not the so-called 'bread-earner's' in the family of Weaponry discussion topics.

So, to start to revitalize our dear side of the forum, here's a question:

There is a wide, wide world of artillery.

Your job, is to explain your favorite type, model, if you'd prefer, and give a basis why. Hopefully, this will wind up into an informative debate regarding the different forms of artillery.

As an example to start the thread off, what do you think of the conventional artillery versus MLRS systems?
