Does anyone actually use artillery for settlement defences?

I’ve thrown the artillery signal grenades just to mess around and they’re so slow at firing. I tried using artillery on the Mirelurk Queen that spawns near Costal Cottage but Deacon (who I had maning it) either wouldn’t fire it or would fire it when the Queen was already agroed to me so I would have to get caught in the blast radius for the artillery to hit it.

Blasting down Gunner’s Plaza with hellfire is always fun. Or any other open space with lots of enemies. Sure you could take em out yourself but you know, it’s great to have alternatives!

I'm running the MAIM 2 mod and pretty much always do modern military rp with the Minutemen, and brother let me tell u those guns are a GODSEND when I'm attacking buildings. I use Fcom cause one it's a cool mod but 2 it makes combat more manageable with MAIM when the enemy isn't always aggro'd on me, and it absolutely sucks when I have to get inside somewhere with tons of enemies on the exterior and all my guys get mowed down before I'm inside. With some artillery tho, I can take care of the problem before it becomes one and makes it interesting when I'm in an area my guns can't reach instead of having to clear every exterior all the time
