I don't see how it's overpowered, I've never really seen them turn the tide of any battle and I've seen tens times as many MBTs killed by the laser designator. On Harvest Day, the artillery is only effective if the Russians have momentum to get past the first base, the Americans can easily destroy the artillery gun there, only when the artillery gun is safe from attack, can it be useful.

As for End of the line, it's not so effective there either due to the artillery gun's range on gold rush and the fact that helicopters are on the map, same goes for the Conquest mode.

As for Oasis, it's debatable whether it's overpowered or not, due to the vulnerable positioning of the Ka-52 on the 2nd base, but it would probably be taken out by a Apache pilot anyway. For the first base, MEC Black Eagles and 2T Stalkers can simple go to that zone across the water which is out of the artillery gun's range and is a great spot to defend.
