Is the Fort/Structure class (unit type 6) effectively the same as the Artillery class (with the exception of not having defensive fire and being vulnerable to the fort killer trait)?

I did a test for Guille a few years ago. I'll copy & paste my reply to him:

Ok, I ran the tests you asked for. I used the same unit (a 17cm rail gun) against the same unit in the same terrain. All values for the test were the same; I changed only the class type. No random dice.

These classes had the following results: 1 killed, 4 suppressed (30% miss, 54% suppression, 16% kills)
---artillery(4), structures(6), strat bombers(9), capital ships(12), armoured trains/siege artillery(18)
---all of the above units caused long-term suppression
---destroyers(11) had the same results but no long-term suppression

All the other classes (including transport classes) had 5-6 kills, 3 suppressed and no long-term suppression.

So, based on damage and suppression, I would say the answer to your question is yes.

Interesting, thanks!
