I think I read it on the Matrix if I remember correctly, guys saying to use them to destroy forts. I think I may scrap them.

This was one of the post, brief but to the point. Although artillery can reduce forts, there main purpose is to cause disruptions. 

Do a search in the what's new pdf for "engineer value" and that will give you the numbers (idea?) of how it works. There are 10 entries.

36. Reworked the way in which engineer value is calculated during battles, to reduce issues occurring because of integer math on small numbers. Infantry as well as flamethrower elements will also contribute to engineer value. Typical rifle squad is worth 1/10 of an engineer squad, but commando and flamethrower squads are as effective as engineers. Reduced the impact of fatigue and ammo shortages on engineer value. Made sure artillery chance to damage fortifications, based on ammo use, is calculated properly. Heavier artillery will have more chances to damage fortifications

Wouldn't it be nice if they rewrote the manual:

Heavy Artillery: has a X% chance of reducing fortifications
Motorcycle regiment: provides X% to detection level of enemy forces and reduces enemy detection level of your forces by X%.

I also have to search to try and find out which units can be attached to Soviet corps, right now it seems engineers, tanks, FT units and mg-arty battalion but not mortar or rocket units; but I have to check more.

I didn't see that post but it is great information; maybe I will try MORE arty divisions then.

A rewrite of the manual would be epic!
