11 The thing is, countering shields is a particularly poor thing to counter. Shields are expensive and weak, being ground down by weaker artillery anyway. The tremor is better at beating down the shields, but it's so imprecise it is worse at deliberately killing of the shield generators. I prefer to use more general purpose artillery against shields just so I retain agency and can focus down the generators when I do get through. If someone builds shields, I will have a better option than tremor almost every time. The advantage of DPSing shields down quickly is not currently outweighed by the trade-off of such poor performance against everything else. If countering shields is the tremors strength, it should absolutely obliterate them. 11 The thing is, countering shields is a particularly poor thing to counter.
