Turret rotation speed doesn't really balance it out. Traditionally artillery have fixed minimum arks so cant target anything at close range. Sound like a good balance?
Add in having to disable the drive train to fire and you are on for a winner.

It'd be a marker you look at and click fire to calibrate your targeting or something so spotting would be far better than going into the map and would encourage support/team play more.
Just brainstorming.
Hpw abojt a piece of equipment, a laser designator.
Aim Brings up an option wheel.
Bombardment - Ground Artillery Request - Creates large circle with aim at centre
Prescision Stike - Aerial Bomber Request - Shows designated target in orange, as if scanned.
Ground Transport - Ground MAV Request - Creates small column that extends upwards to infinity
Aerial Transport - Aerial MAV Request - Same as Above
Close Air Support - Aerial HAV Request - Creates small column that extends to infinty around user
Close Ground Support - Ground HAV Request - Same as Above
Firing the laser designator creates the above effect on the HUD of anyone driving the relevant vehicle. Once the commando role is brought in, the requests first goes to him, where he decides who can see the request.

The artillery would be a powerful long range (but not as long as a rail) with arched trajectory that if you hit something it will go boom quick, only if you can hit it without aiming directly at it and with travel time.
The minny tank should be fast and versatile for armor/shields. Since Amarr would be armor though then more shields for minny.
No I believe the Artillery should have the longest range, period.
Forcing an Arty tank to stop moving to fire would help create balance. Adding a Slow Projectile speed plus high arc will decrease its usability for hit and run.
Add that to the fact that you don't see what you are firing at half the time and friendly fire becomes a big possibility.
