It's the guys (12" variety) around the gun that operate it. One hit does not take out a field artillery piece as I understand it. You kill the operators (the 12" people) and then the artillery is knocked out. The supply vehicle must then ferry the 12" guys from the home base back to the artillery to get it operational again. The SV's also do the artillery re-supply with paintballs. Same as in real life - no operators = no shooting. No ammo = no shooting. Re-supply is the key to keeping an artillery piece in the fight whether or not that is man power or ammo. Take a look at some of the point totals for the field artillery pieces....they are quite active in the battle.
