Artillery must be periodically sent back for depot-level maintenance after barrel ware becomes excessive. Accuracy suffers if this isn't done. As of 6/25/2022, we are in the 125th day of the war and with such a high OPTEMPO, Russian guns must be reaching significant barrel ware. If the guns aren't sent back for depot level maintenance, they will become increasingly inaccurate.
