just for these 3 mortar variants : M1 81mm. , granatenwerfer 34 , pm-41 82mm.
increase another options to counter :
- ISG / Packhowi / Mortars pit
- Wall of ATs/HMGs
doesn't share extra range with (SOV)flare ability , (OST) Counter barrage ability
Bring back vet.3 +33% barrage range maybe?

120mm is doctrinal and honestly rather poor, pack howi is another problem for another thread.
Try again. Cheap mortars do not need a autofire range boost at vet.

Counter barrage from the ostheer mortar already has extra range..
If you need to decrew support weapons I think the mortars already have enough range, and if it doesn't meet your need I suggest you get yourself some rocket artillery.
Also, the USF indirect fire is already really strong with the Pack howi and the Scott in their stock loadout.

I get it, if having problem to deal with packhowis / ISGs just build a rocket artillery..
I better not see people crying about OP packhowits here in the future.

50/50 could be a good change. While it's a nice bonus for keeping your mortars alive and would reward good micro you might have to increase long range scatter to compensate. It also could be stupid obnoxious on some small maps where a Vet 3 mortar could basically sit in your base and barrage a good portion of the map.

But it would be barraging a spot on the map, meaning a targeted ability with a cooldown. The counterplay would be just to move. Micro for micro.
I think the return of a longer barrage would be acceptable

that is my main goal , keeping this fragile unit alive to the late-game not just to be a smoke maker unit

and yes it should be a separate ability "long range but also longer cooldown or higher scatter"

There are already other threads about the pack howi in which we all agree the unit is OP, not for it's range though.

Meh. You already got the thing to vet 3 I don't se any issue with it being better as a barrage only tool. It makes its ceiling higher without raising the floor. Rewards good management

+33% barrage range
Don’t mind them they only see what they want to see
And they want to see red
Most of my ideas are probably bad, - but I try and share lots of them
and maybe some of them will be good an improve the game
One can hope

+33 barrage range seems reasonable.
It still requires micro.
It helps with high veterancy vs new mortar squads survival
It makes some vet3 mortars more useful for rather tight situations, the ideal scenario for fully vetted units.
It should be taken account of the barrage dispersion and aoe though, because if you increase the barrage range it will also increase the spread and that means the barrage will be close to useless with the current settings

+ 10% would be enought to give vetted units a real benefit.

Mortars are really on the weaker side of performance improvement between vet 0 and vet 3 units. So i wouldn't mind a BARRAGE range improvement at that point.
On a somehow unrelated kind of buff to mortars what if:
-Vet 3 mortars instead got a -20% dmg modifier making them a bit more resistant to late game rocket artillery/heavy indirect fire. Similar to Grenadiers.
Or
-Mortars still require 2 guys to operate but they won't no longer decrew when at 1 man.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Just give it to the Ost and Soviet mortars. The US don't need it since they have the pak howy. Not to mention their mortar is in the HQ
