British Mortar range is too damn high

They can't move. Other mortars can. This justifies the range.

It definitely ain't right how there's maps where the Mortar Pit can cover two VPs at once (Faymonville comes to mind), making the thing pretty unkillable until one can actually get tanks.

Does it justify their near immortality and the fact that it has two? Hell no.

1. It's not immortal, you just need to bait the brace and attack 30 seconds later when it will die easily.

2. The second mortar is weaker and does less damage.

I believe candy crush saga has a discount sale for anyone who can't combat emplacements.

What next? Whingeing threads about how op the Universal Carrier is? Complaints about the panther needing more frontal armour? Please relic buff the shrecks and decrease its price cos my mummy says im speshul.

Someday try taking a schwerer out then come back and explain what was so difficult about a bloody mortar pit.

In thinking the collective noun for window lickers should be axisparaphiliacs.

Really so can you show the stat please, I've always thought the two mortars are identical.

UC as a command vehicle is kinda OP actually. Free recon almost constantly and against Ostheer this counters all sniper play. Hans vs Barton definitely showed this.

Yesterday in a game against Choccy I really had a hard time to take out the mortar pits because of their high AOE. The range is probably not that big of a problem, but AOE and the firing speed seems a bit high.

Shoots half as fast. When barraging does much less damage on direct hits.

Your 680MP did actually counter my 800MP though, didn't it? It was a hard fought game, but the ISG's came out on top eventually. With vet, they easily out-ranged the mortars.

On a 50/50 map split for the entire game, you also managed to field a kubel, 4 volks, 2 spio, 2 obers, 2 LeiG's, 3 raketen, 1 P4, 1 panther, 1 JP4 and 1 KT.

I had 2 inf sections, 2 royal E's (had to replace 2 due to a ISG wiping out 2 rep'ing the Mortars), 1 vickers, 2 mortar pits, 2 AT guns, 3 comets and a firefly.

I don't know how much fuel you had left at the end, but I had literally nothing, an no manpower either.


I know which army composition I would rather have.

Also, hard countering arty cover by walking out the circle was unfair man...

and I quote "without those damn mortar pits and arty cover, this game would have been over long ago".

Increase its MP cost please. And no I'm not just saying this because I got fucked hard by mortar pit spam on crossing in the woods

yesterday i played a 2v2 vs simcity builders par excellence

double mortar pit on rails and metal is unbeatable. THe US guy just bunched up with the tommies behin the great green cover wall of china in the mid so we couln't attack and waited for bofors and mortar pit

i don't kow how to counter that

had a command Panther instead of KT. Multiple times the arty cover destroyed my engines.

My ISG's were for 90% of the time in the mortar range. 2x portar pits took me atleast 40 minutes to take 1 out, the other I couldn't get. Arty cover kept you into the game because I had to be way more cautius

Just because something is expensive and coSt more than its counter parts doesn't mean it should perform exceedingly better.

Emplacements are mostly just an issue for Ostheer in 2v2 scenario. Especially Mortar Pit behind shot blocker that covers 2 VPs with its massive range.
