British Mortar range is too damn high

Just replace the pits with the common mortar which has shorter range. Everyone will be happy.400MP/8pop for 2 mortar squard which has the longest range is not bad anyway.I'm not saying it's OP but it should not be set into immobile emplacements imo.

They can't move. Other mortars can. This justifies the range.
Does it justify their near immortality and the fact that it has two? Hell no.

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.
This is pretty much on all 2v2 maps like that, it just makes you forced to micro while cap he sits back and jerks off Kappa
Me: I am scared, that i will need to shake ma head the same as when i read ur posts, so i rather not
Katitof: Its not even close to me even at my worst in the past, imagine ullu, incendiary, aaa, vetlolcake and disto merge into one mega axis zord with forcefield protecting it from accepting any factual data. Add to that a victim card(his rumblings at my PM).

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.

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

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.

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.
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.

I'm not sure why the mortar pit can't just be like a USF fighting position that a mortar team can garrison for brit-like bonuses. Or an MG team, or a 6 pounder, or FFS a tank for insta hull-down bonuses. You get the idea. Trenches for team weapons.
Or cheap and quick emplacements that only work when garrisoned by infantry and can be stolen/used by teammates.
Emplacements have always felt so gorramn lazy in both incarnations in the CoH franchise.

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

There are already plenty of maphack abilities in the game. IR HT, spotting scope 222, vet1 kubel ability, vet3 t70 recon mode. All of these also only require a 1-time purchase.

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.
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".

Shoots half as fast. When barraging does much less damage on direct hits.
Just a clarification regarding damage
- Both mortars deal normal damage when autoattacking
- One mortar deals reduced damage barraging (the one-shotting radius is reduced by 75%)
Now, regarding the rate of fire:
- The two mortars have different aiming time (0.5 secs vs 1 second) applied between reloads
- This means that the 2nd mortar takes 0.5 second extra between shots
- Given that the reload time for both around ~8secs, the 1st mortar doesn't fire twice as fast
- I am guessing they introduced this so that the two shots don't synchronize to reduce insta-wipe chance
Takeaway: In order to utilize the mortar pit to its max potential, never use barrages. Instead, you should set-and-forget like a pro.
You have a great idea that improves the QoL aspects of the game? Please, drop your idea here:

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

I surely wouldn't increase the cost because of it's inmobility. I would let it fire a bit slower

You did have a command panther, but you also had a KT at the end of the game. Your ISG's weren't 90% in the range, because I couldn't get them, plus you had them next to battlegroup, so insta reinforce when they did stray.
The only faction that has issues with them is Ost, if the don't have the mortar halftrack. There are some good commanders with that in, so I don't see an issue to have at least one equipped in-case of coming up against a sim city builder.
Ost player could also go Ostruppen, and completely force Brit player off the field... who cares about mortar pit if you have the majority of the map? If Brit player is able to invest in mortars against Ostruppen play, you did something wrong.

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

Actually, that is exactly what does it mean.
Except for pershing.
This thing is overpriced comet with tad better AI.
And maybe KV-2, which is a result of unprotected sex between IS-2 and ISU.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.
