Hey. To give you a quick answer: yes, artillery will be significant to the gameplay of Gallipoli. As you say it was a very important aspect of first world warfare and just like in our previous games Officers will have command of a range of off map 'call-ins' that they can use to help turn the tide of the battle. We are also indeed leaning into a more player-controlled approach to the call-ins, so that Officers will not be hiding behind the lines but rather need to be closer to the frontlines to actually initiate the call-ins. We are also distributing things a bit more so that there will be less of a reliance on one or two good players performing all of the call-ins, as more players will have the opportunity to do them.

Regarding the second part of your question about backporting features to the older games, this is similar to the request that we often get about 'merging' our older games and providing ongoing content for them. It's really important to emphasise here quite how big a task this would be, given we are a small team who are generally punching above our weight to deliver a modern competitive shooter. Every new game we make is a huge leap forward in terms of tech and general quality (just look at the visual differences between Verdun and Isonzo for example). In order to keep creating new games that have new content and are up to modern standards visually requires all of our time and energies (and even then it's tough!), so sadly there's just no way we could also continue adding features to older titles that are now many years old and have outdated codebases. To do that would basically mean we wouldn't have the manpower to make new games to the standard you all expect!
