Buried under the "Achievements" tab on our player home pages, there are all sorts of often overlapping awards for having killed X number of enemy units with type Y units of your own. Example: Having killed 10 heavy tank units, you earn the first level of the "Tank Destroyer" award. As far as I know, no-one takes such things seriously and I am sure they were intended in good fun when someone at Bytro Labs created them.
In reviewing the list, however, there appears to be a glaring omission for an award for killing X number of enemy units with artillery, and it might be fun to add an award for the effective use of the often neglected and unsung COW artillery units to the achievements list. If nothing else, it would provide some insight into whether opposing players use artillery or not.
Perhaps they could call it Die Ostfront Bleeding Heart Award.
Just a thought.

This thread has somehow passed unnoticed for a long time it seems. But yeah, I am sure our game designers do not mind adding another fun achievement like "Kill X enemy units with artillery" to the list. And while we're at it: Why don't you propose some fitting names – except for "Die Ostfront", which has already been proposed.
I'll take whatever intel, about my opponents, that I'm given. The "Stats Overview" tab is one and the "Achievements" tab is another (and one I'd use more often if it gave a more complete picture of my opponent's trends with the addition of more Achievements).

This thread (thanks MontanaBB) got me to look at my own Achievements tab (something I don't think to do) and I noticed my "Ruler of Nations: Win 10 Rounds of the 'Clash of Nations' Map" has the three stars awarded and indicates "10/10".
I'm fine with that end point as it may encourage me to focus on a different Achievement. But, it would be nice, if there were some place where I could see my actual total of any Achievement that fills up.

To the extent your game victories occurred in the past, they may be "lost." When they recently added a new achievement/award for wins on the 50-player Pacific map, my two previous outright victories on that map did not register for the new award.
