I must say that I do not choose Artillery anymore, since I mostly farm on the side lanes, the Wave is much more efficient there. Artillery is nice for farming enemy tinkers though
Also, mines are efficient. I used to think that people must figure out where I put them, but they don't
I always place them on the healers and right in the lane, or on camping spots, when I see that an enemy keeps on hanging around the same place. People somehow don't adapt much, only really experienced players seem to know how to avoid mines, all others keep running into them, even if they died a couple of times in a mine field. There's a saying in DotA: never follow a techie (the mine laying player in DotA) into the river, it'll be mined for sure. This doesn't seem to apply to BT, it's fairly easy to kill with mines, even against helis, which can dodge them easier than any other starting vehicle.
Mines also farm nicely in mid, even if the player triggering the mine doesn't die: it takes out the entire creep wave
