I'm loving coming back to this game for the DLC but one thing I was never quite clear on (as I used hidden stats), is there any difference between Barrage vs Sustained fire for artillery in damage per second.

The description makes it sounds like Barrage deals damage faster over a short period of time but the stat page of the unit shows only one damage type. Does barrage have a higher DPS or are they identical?

Artillery has a set amount of ammo, and each shot consumes 1 ammo. The regular barrage fires multiple shots in quick succession, whereas sustained adds a delay between each shot. Each shot does the same damage, regardless of barrage type. Sustained barrage can be used to save ammo in lead up to an attack as the target gets a severe damage debuff for being shell shocked and hiding behind cover while being blasted, so you only need one shot every once in a while to reapply the debuff.
