For me, Siege artillery is good to break up enemy trench connections. If I can brave the enemy riflemen enough to get soldiers into trenches then it doesn't have to be a numbers game to hold it. As it currently is, infantry of the same quality will die on a 1:1 ratio. If a unit gets into a combat with an enemy unit with both at full health your unit will either be defeated, or left combat ineffective.

So by forcing the enemy counter attack to come over the trench top instead of along the communication trench I can get a bunch of kills with rifle fire improving my capacity to hold ground I drag out of the enemy hands.

I also find it's useful for breaking up the enemies formation, meaning I only have to suppress 1-2 lines of trenches instead of the 3-4 the AI tends to dig which is a lot of supply and artillery
