Mortars should cause abandon on tanks with exposed crew

This idea is as bad as having planes crashing planes randomly crashing into the battlefield. Each fight tells a different story.


having planes crashing planes randomly chrashing? are you sure you arent jaden smith? :D

I agree, but only because UKF have no access to open top tanks and all other factions need a healthy nerd.

I think 1 roket of BM13 should move turret away from KT and put it somewhere near. It would be so great!

Technically mortars already can if they penetrate a low health tank and finish it off to trigger the critical

Those stacked Mortar Armor Penetration+ Bulletins guys, amirite?

Allied mortars would literally hard counter super heavy tanks then, those things can't dodge for shit. But be my guest, USF is the one true faction for me. #believe

Heavies don't have open tops though.

Strongly disagree with your idea.

Lets start to count the open top vehicles in the game:

Allies:
M3
M5 HT
M5 HT USF version
M5 USF version with mortar
M8 Greyhound
M10
Priest
Saxon
Wasp
M20
M36
Scott
Su-76
Total:13

Axis:

Sdfkz 250 HT
Sdfkz 250 HT with mortar
Sdkfz 251 Flak
Ostwind
Kubelwagon
Total:5.

Problem ?
Clearly the idea favor one side.

However, here's a suggestion than - > Any vehicle suffering turret lock OR engine damage AND is axis - > will be evacuated immediately.
Why? Because it will add a new elemnt of depth into the game. (Also happened IRL, when the a tiger was turret locked > and was evacuated shortly after.)

See the logic ?
No ?

I support this idea, will add great immersion to the game. Maybe also let the 120mm mortar crewshock tanks that dont have an open top like tiger/kt/panther/p4 etc..

I think this would add a new and interesting dynamic to gameplay, and give mortars and other artillery more late game utility.



But wouldn't this just be a massive USF nerf?

Consider the amount of open topped units each faction has, USF clearly has the most.

Jackson
Priest
M10
m20 (?)
WC50
scott

still a cool idea but I think it would be very hard to balance.

Can't we just make mortars hitting tanks with 100% penetration to make them useful?

I don't support this idea.

Yes, but all tanks should be abandoned when hit by mortars, not just the open tops. After all, a mortar round would be pretty hard to distinguish from a p47 rocket from inside, so the crew would probably run away just in case. Also, so long as we're at it we should implement random air supremacy/artillery shells throughout the game. To better capture the feeling of WWII. Oh and every penetrating shot should be a kill.

Let's have a 30 munition ability hardcountering a 350 mp 125 Fuel tank.... ( In the case of grenades)

Let's have a 240 mp unit hard counter a 350mp 125 fuel tank...


Flame throwers I agree with but the ability for RNG mortars and Frag Grenades to instantly decrew a tank is stupid.

I don't see it as adding whole new strategic level to the game, I see it as adding whole new RNG to the game that affects mostly allies, is unneeded and allows 240 mp units to counter 300+mp 100+fu units.

Unless your goal is to take a steamy dump on the balance, then its a bad idea.


Agreed. Ostwinds would become useless.
