But the HM-38 is even more likely to miss, no?
...
The HM-38 has a better AOE/Scatter area ratio again I suggest you test this in Cheat MOD and see for yourself.
HM-38 is very effective vs OKW trucks.

Nobody is saying it's ineffective. We're saying the little mortar is more effective. Yes the AoE of the 120mm is wider but the increased ROF and accuracy of the little lad is simply superior for chopping dowm buildings. Shooting more often and dealing full damage more often > shooting less, hitting less but dealing more damage when it misses.

Again from my experience the 120mm is better at taking out OKW trucks or other structures.
If any one has a different experience or made a test in cheat MOD would be more than happy to watch a replay.

I think I can accept from a practical standpoint that the 120mm is better at taking out trucks since you can engage them a lot easier even when they are in safe positions, and at max range the superior AOE will compensate somewhat for scatter misses.
But the stats don't support it doing higher theoretical DPS. If both are plopped at range 50 to diminish scatter issues, the PM41 is simply going to have a shorter TTK then the HM38.

That might be true, but not realistic in in game scenario where in most cases one is firing into FOW and at ranges close to max where scatter is substantial not all shots land on top of the target.

just use incendiary devices. A somewhat decent player wont let u kill it with pio flamer (251 flamer sets a house on fire very fast but its hard too), but if you use LeIg incendiary rounds (Feuersturm doc) or Mortar HT incendiary barrages you can counterpick a FHQ spammer with ease

did Balance team already fix the issue with Leig incendiary rounds that they couldn't put any building on fire? It used to be quite a known bug.

No one said it wasn't, I just prefer the stock mortar in general. No vet 1 for flare, cheaper, stock, and shoots more often
120 has its strengths too, I just prefer the strengths of the stock mortar

Read previous posts, it has been argued that the PM-41 is better at taking out OKW truck than the HM-38 something I doubt is true in a realistic in game scenario.

Actually, not a single person said its better, only 1 asked you why you think 120mm is better despite 81mm having much better stats for the job, but you just dodged the question.
But it's impossible. Same damage per shot shooting less. Unless there is a bug it shouldn't be dealing more damage.

I'm not proving you wrong, you do the job just fine all by yourself.
You were simply asked to explain how unit with much lower accuracy and much lower DPS is better at hitting large, static target as you seem to be the only one with access to that diving knowledge against all common sense and math.

OK you started your BS so allow me explain some basic things to you:
Explosive weapons do not use accuracy
Explosive weapons do not use the DPS formula
and the HM-38 has a better AOE/Scatter ratio...
You attempt to correct it me constantly (and fail miserably) even did so in post 71. I suggest that if want to correct someone you should start by correcting yourself:
your claim "Actually, not a single person said its better,..." is wrong as I have already demonstrated to you.

That means its easier to hit infantry with 120mm then 81mm...
Target as big as a truck, its irrelevant, because you're going to land most of your shots and weapon that shoots same damage, but does it more accurately and more often should perform better.

Another nice theory but nothing to support it.

Except.. you know... THE FUCKING STATS.

Put them both at 80 range and the 82mm will deal more damage because it hits more accurately and more often. The reason the 120 is better more often is the range more than anything.
No one is saying the 120mm is bad. But in the ranges it can be used the higher dps of the Lil guy is simply better. I guess it comes down to preference. Now, if you will, this is extremely off topic and has gone on long enough.
