imho anyone with binocs should be able to spot for mortar. if you’ve called artillery on a location, it’s kind of redundant to then mortar it as well.
alternatively, allow field ops to call just a spotter round only (maybe with altweapon), without the followup artillery barrage, and require lesser charge.
this would make mortar soldiers much more useful.
Yeah I was kinda confused about this. It seems the mortar is a really weak weapon when you only get to target a location that has been marker for artillery fire. What difference will your shots make after a barage of artillery!
I thought you should let the soldier spot his own targets with binoculars. This doesn’t lend itself to team play but then it seems hard enough as it is using the mortar.
I suggested we be able to plot those markers from the command map. The only problem I see with binoculars is that the advantage the mortar has is its arcing trajectory, this allows you to hit targets over walls and such that would block your vision. You can’t select these targets with your binoculars.
Not only that but having to be able to atleast semi-understand the command map to use the weapon would be cool too.
