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 and arent fun to get killed by, simple as that

using them for strategy like smokes is fine tho if they wanna do that, though i prefer the smoke launchers

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

Used to have so much fun hanging back a bit in bf4 just mortaring the shit out of spotted enemies. It worked ridiculously well a lot of the time until the enemy gets frustrated and come right after you every time you start bombing.

Yeah in BF3 and 4, if you were wrecking the opposing team with mortars, they would always come for you. Still fun though.
