How do you cancel an artillery strike?
Ive been kicked from servers for killing people that I can see walking into an arty zone. They walk right into artillery I place to keep the other side from having an approach to cap a point (so our guys can cap it) dispite the fact that shells are raining down right in front of them. Also, I dont have much use for the other 40 shells in the barrage after the 3th one took out my target.

Arty is best used to hit an area after you have captured it and your side is on the way to another cap.
This way the the rounds are stopping an enemy re taking the position.

Really the best use is to place it to block an enemy's ROUTE to an objective. This way you can go in and cap while the barrage is ongoing. Most objectives have enough cover that placing arty directly on them is folly..you just kill anyone going into the objective, and many times that's your own side.

Arty is best used for obstruction, as Phoenix-D says, in my opinion. An officer should find a good observation point near a radio and try and provide the rest of the troops with intelligence (again, in my opinion). I'm sure tankers are grateful if you stop them being outflanked...

Here's a word of advice for people... when an officer tells you where arty is about to strike, stay out of that grid... Got kicked from a server recently because of people not listening and getting too many TKs

Of course, the flipside is to be sure to warn your teamates when you call in an artillery strike!!! Don't be afraid to use your mike.
According to the manual: "...once the leader has plotted the artillery strike, any other player can call it in from a radio." Although I've never been able to get this to work either.Felix Ostheim said:

Ya, my unit and I have tried calling coord's and then having someone else radio it in to no avail.
