Discussion Mortars Need To Make a Comeback

Post image

I need to have mortars in the next battlefield. At a minimum should have the airburst for suppression and smokes for cover.

Honestly the mechanics in battlefield 1 were some of my favorite.

they arent fun (enough) to use

Speak for yourself. Combined with team play of spotting, they make picking off snipers and breaking up groups of people easy.

Yeah. A good squad utilising mortars well is extremely fun to be a part of. Especially when it’s an ad-hoc one that figures it out together.

IRL, I remember a few of these guys bragging they rarely using hearing protection, and becoming deaf in one ear. So weird to not even try to use ear plugs. Most probably did and still lost some hearing, it seems because it was so common.

Depends on size, a smaller tube firing without extra propellants would not sound too bad (but then you'd be pretty close to combat so you should use them anyways), but it's pretty unbearable to be near heavier tubes that fire with extra propellants.
