General Information[]
The M270 is fragile and slow, but can outrange even railguns and supply high damage at range, on top of firing over obstacles. It easily replaced Mortarmen and can be a powerful siege weapon. Before sending your army into the fray, it can be used to pick off enemy barriers, paving way for allied tanks and reducing potential damage taken. It is also the first heavy vehicle with an anti-air secondary slot, giving it limited defense against annoying fixed wing aircraft and helicopters that heavy vehicles usually fail to target.
As it offers poor defense to itself, try to keep an eye on enemy artillery pieces like Howitzers and Salvo Turrets. While using your tanks to bait enemy units would be a good option, beware that they may turn on the launchers themselves if they enter a blindspot. Light vehicles and infantry are naturally vulnerable to a salvo of rockets if they aren't moving quickly enough, but in the case of aircraft (especially gunship helicopters, which inflict bonus damage to heavy vehicles), consider bringing some extra infantry and certain light vehicles (or even a Pantsir if you skipped GMLRS but do not own a properly upgraded HIMARS yet) since its secondary cannot easily handle them.
