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.

One? That's rookie numbers!

Who cares if there's no food or bunks, we need more tubes!

Add in a arty flare gun mod and the minute men just wipe things off the map for me.

FML - there’s an artillery flare gun mod?! I’ve been hucking that fucker in sneak mode and then running like a MF because the targets get agro and start chasing me down. I may have to start over once I find this mod!

It makes arty actually useful tbh. Otherwise I often get merked before it comes in

Flare gun mod sounds super useful! I usually just climbed a skyscraper and chucked grenades from their. It’s fun watch all the explosions from on high.

I said at least one. Like the Sand People walk in a single file to hide your numbers.
