Here are my thoughts:
1. At least 500m range, prefer 750, maybe 1km depending. Long enough range to set up strategically, not long enough to hide in your own base and shell the whole continent. Short enough that you must be out in the open in order to
attack. This would not preclude the use of artillery
defensively, however, by setting up in your base(and remember it will be short enough you can't reach enemy bases from your own base), but since attackers don't sit still, and I would propose that the artillery cannot hit anything closer than 150m, this should not be a problem.
2. 5m blast radius, not 30m like the flail
3. Must deploy to fire, takes at least 10 seconds to undeploy(so you can't escape from being C4ed if someone comes after you)
4. Can be fired with laser designation for accurate fire(and thus, the guy lasing is at risk directly), and can be fired without designation but if it is, there would be a 10-30 meter random shot deviation. Since the blast radius would only be 5 meters, this means you cannot simply memorize setup locations and elevation to fire at for specific spots.
5. Slow travel time
And there we are, perfectly balanced.
