Think of it this way. We always see these movies where American's or Russians are using aircraft to drop napalm on an enemy. They drop one or two canisters of Napalm and we see a hill line light up.
While these things fire a really concentrated version of napalm at a rate of 30 missiles every quarter minute.
So the tactical idea behind it is you mix a few of these with conventional artillery.
What used to protect a infantry soldier, a good trench with a well built over head shelter. or a ditch where you pray the law of averages doesn't get you would be gone in a mixed artillary barrage. Not only are you dealing with air and ground bursts, but they are also lighting the area on fire with a super hot uncontrollable fire.
Basically they can kill infantry, while using conventional arty to make sure and probably destroy or damage more lightly armored vehicles and use something like a artillery fired anti-tank sub munition and suddenly you can use artillery to truly peel back a dug in or advancing enemy force.
