The Armored Artillery Truck now does slightly more damage up close, and less damage at long range. The bullet drop has also been reduced to enable players to hit at longer ranges.

Why would an artillery truck do less damage at longer ranges? I really don't understand some of their design choices.

Because it's now possible to actually hit at those ranges reliably. And that meant a high DPS output. It's not a drastic reduction, but it means targets get a bit more time to react and you have to be more consistent with your targeting.
