To add on to sPzAbt's reply, when conducting preparatory artillery attacks adding a single ground unit to the attack is supposed to amplify the defender losses. The attack capability of the ground unit isn’t a factor, just that a ground unit is in some way involved. In this manner most people use a small unit (engineering/AT/AA) that would not be necessary for the main assault.

Of course, this is considered “gamey”, so use with discretion. Try it first in a PO/solo game to see how it works.
