Truck mounted artillery is a good innovation. Wheeled vehicles move faster on roads and easy off-road terrain. They have easier logistics than tracks.

This will be good for contingencies in certain border areas requiring fast moving yet sustained firepower.

Truck mounted artillery adds mobility to your regular towed artillery, but they're nowhere as effective as tracked self-propelled artillery in terms of performance.

Different artillery compliment each other or can perform better in a different situation.

tracked artillery is heavier, but less mobile. mobility matters.
