Strengths

What this unit does well

  • Shell ammo ignores shields and heavily pressures light units.
  • Long reach lets Humans break stalemates.
  • Can create crater effects on target hexes.

Weaknesses

What can go wrong

  • Weak local defense if flanked.
  • Needs spotters because its own LOS is short.
  • Slower than cheaper Human attack units.

Doctrine

How Humans should use it

Bring Javelins when the enemy wants to sit still. They convert information advantage into map-shaping pressure.
