Artillery targets undiscovered entities.

Artillery targets undiscovered entities, but should it?
It is super convenient, but it does not really make sense, how can you target something you do not know is there?

If the artillery has some secret radar, it should reveal the information to me, and thus reveal the area on the map.

I agree, we should get some sort of end-game radar that match arty range. Of course more mat to build more energy to maintain.

IMO, Artillery train SHOULDN'T target entities that aren't on our map.
