    90% of the Land casualties in WWII were caused by Arty, 8% by Armoured, 2% by Infantry. The balance has shifted even more in recent years thanks to advancement in Arty tech (the stuff the Russians are doing in Ukraine is truly proving the value of it).

    Everything is needed at the end of the day, no element is particularly valuable on its own. Without supply you don't have equipment to fight a battle, without Infantry you can't hold terf, etc.

    You see? You answer yourself. Lots of fights have been won without arty or armor.
