Why no army simply had the best artillery

Claims about the best World War II artillery collapse unless the comparison specifies weapon type, calibre, and role.

Notes

The claim that the US Army had the war's best artillery is too broad. German, Soviet, British, and Japanese artillery all included capable systems. Individual armies could lead in particular units or weapons without dominating every category. Light, medium, heavy, and rocket artillery posed different design and employment problems. A useful comparison must therefore define the calibre and role before ranking national performance.
