what's the use case? so you don't have artillery computer on old vehicles for example?

yeah. the other use case is, disabling engine artillery stops being able to order the AI to fire artillery
so you might want to only disable it for a player used vehicle etc
not sure if it stops you from issuing 'doArtilleryFire' with them, I just know if they're in your group you can no longer order them to

things like player equipment training. player is “trained” on a mk6 mortar so has access to arty computer. player not trained on m6 scorcher, so can use but no access to arty computer
its not super important tbh, but for inexperienced scripters, managing arty engine access is a hurdle

for that case you can just remove the artillery computer flag from config, no?

If you're making a mod, yes.
If you're just the missionmaker and the assets you have to work with have the artillery computer, no.

also that command just disables the Artillery Computer action right? as far as I see in game code it doesn't affect AI :think_turtle:

I think there are CDLC vehicles that are more directly relevant to this, but for a vanilla example, imagine you want your insurgents to have a computerless Mk6 mortar while allowing NATO Scorchers to keep their computerised FCS
