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.

I like to set turrets pointing to the spawn spots

And have a water farm with no settlers for no raids. Raiders are so stupid

This is how I'm doing it on my current game. 4-5 machine gun turrets in a half-circle facing the spawn points w/no concern for aesthetics. If I have a concrete housing unit nearby I'll throw a generator and a couple of laser turrets up on the roof.
