where you lob a variety of weapons against your opponent on a 2d map (with elevation and such) and you could cause damage to the terrain which could either cause your opponents cannon/tank fall some and take damage or help blast your way to a better projection...

Was it a nuclear war type game that had options such as the big boy?

I've been looking for a certain game since I played it in middle school, and I can't for the life of me find it

and it's not scorched earth

the one i'm speaking of was a top down view, not a side view
