... what version of the game are you using?
The Atomic Artillery is a new weapon I added to the game in the previous update, if it's not working with your version of the game, you could always just revert to the previous version, however...
when I made the artillery, I just copied the existing rocket launched atomic bomb, and edited it to work with artillery.
From what I recall, they added new effects to destroy the decoratives with such things. I didn't think of it at the time when I released the mod, but it could be that it only works with the very latest version of the game. (0.18.22 at the time of writing)
