We need to address that first.

The only low-skill stuff I see is running around and just shooting.

If you implemented artillery where 3 players do nothing but sit there and hold E for 10 seconds, every 30 seconds or so, NO ONE WILL USE IT. You might as well leave it out of the game.
And people suggest SPGs because a towed arty would be ridiculous. "Oh just let me cert into the tow hitch for the Sunderer so we can move this howitzer we spawned" Fun stuff.
I agree that it should take more than one person, and targeting should be limited with out support of some kind or expensive sidegrades.(ex. high-lvl cert into cam-guided shells, sacrificing damage and ammo capacity)
But leave Arty as an SPG, and don't have more than one damn reloader.

You don't have to use it if you don't have the patience.
The SPG Flail was overpowered...because it was self propelled.
