The percentage setting just determines its lethality not what is purchased.
I have never messed with this setting but would guess while it may not cause so many kills it still causes the same amount of suppression.

Dare I say one of the main aims of artillery is to ruin a battle or rather any plans you try to execute in it by hampering lines of fire & movement.

I will say this is one area Don & Andy have managed to get the AI to excel at on occasion in anything but a meeting engagement.
Sometimes it does the good old hammer the victory hexes but others it cuts off supporting fire & nails you.
Meeting engagements you can normally resolve a fire fight & pull out before the arty becomes a problem.
I would actually rate the AIs use of arty in some battles as better than most humans especially if it has a unit or 2 with eyes on you that you missed.
If they can see you prepare to move out in a couple of turns or face the consequences.
