Re: assaulting
Whatever is available, though you may get more stationary mtr's for the same bucks.
Bigger shell brings more suppression PER ROUND. However, heavier guns have significantly slower rate of fire and less ammo than lighter weapons, meaning that one 75mm three-gun battery may land say 21 rounds in the impact zone whereas 155mm battery just 9-12. And since 155mm doesn't cause twice the suppression of light arty, but say 1,5 times more, more smaller shells mean more cummulative suppression.
Think of it like this: in situation A, someone is firing at you from 100 yards with a muzzleloading musket firing large and heavy lead balls. In situation B, on the same distance, someone is firing at you Skorpion SMG with tiny .32ACP (7.62x17) rounds. Sure, a musket would make a bigger hole into your body, but I bet you'd tend to hug ground more in the B case.
