Designated Artillery Outfits?

Ugh just make it a decent artillery that works against units, vehicles but mainly buildings and then just give us some mobile shields and shield grenades to counter it and voila balance done. Use your imagination people..(Totally not wanting to recreate the Halo 3 trailer)

“Every class. Especially if the target laser can be bought at the artillery itself.

Would that be OP? No. Imagine the Infiltrator having one of these. I can hear people gasp already, "a stealth guy who can get close to you any way he likes can use one of these! Oh the OPness!"
But think again: The weapon has a short range, so the infil needs to be close before he can use it increasing chance of discovery. The target laser itself can be extremely visible, the player using it can be shown on the radar, the laserbeam itself can make a sound (same like the Vanu Plasma makes a sound). Then there's all the ways the artillery shell can be telegraphed with all the sound, slow muzzle velocity, trails, lights, HUD alarms etc that can help with that.

Now keep in mind that if you actually used every single balancing feature I named that the artillery would be mostly useless. So the balanced feature lies somewhere in the middle: Enough warnings and jingle bells to make sure people can't complain what's happening (more so since a rocketpod ESF can kill you with less warning and more success) but not too much so that the weapon can actually have an effect.”

Indeed also i found this this is still a W.I.P. so its not the final version, The 3 round burst i like though.

Look at that beauty. Short range (that dart seems to have a large drop). Slow velocity. Easily visible. A COF that isn't too large or too small. Long deployment time. Probably not enough firepower in one volley to annihilate vehicles.

Probably not but then again its main point is to act as an Anti SkyWall gun, i can possibly see the gun (On its own any way) not super effective unless there's additional guns with it.

And even if the there are additional guns... You would need to get a group of players with these things, each tied to a different artillery, close to the enemy base (besides having to build and defend these artillery). If a large group of players manages to all all fire their artillery beacons all over your base without contest, you've already been Zerged and it wouldn't matter anyway.
