Just an idea I had. Given that the mortar halftrack already has an incendiary shell, would it not be logical for the Gr.34 to get an equivalent? It would certainly be more useful than the counter-battery it currently has, and would go a long way towards alleviating the problems the Germans have getting soviet units out of garrisons early game. It would also solve the complaints that the Ost mortar can't deal with 6-man crewed weapons, even those that don't move during a (rather ineffective) barrage.

It wouldn't necessarily need to have the huge splash radius of the MHT version- a cheaper shell with a radius twice that of the molotov radius would probably work as well.

well i would be happy if it had maxim levels of seup time. and fast turning.

i agree that the counter barrage sucks. i activate it even on big arty and they just stand there doing nothing.

Counter barrage on such a small artillery piece with this limited range really isn't useful. Especially considering that the counter barrage has a range of just 80 whereas the normal barrage has 106 range...

I still don't understand why the Soviet mortar gets the precision shot ability. If anything, it should be the other way around (or both small mortars get precision shot).

But yeah, incendiary would be nice, too.

I dont think germans should get precision shot. the soviets get great indirect where as the germans can bunker down (hurrr) so it makes sense.

But i like the incen round for regular mortars

I agree, in spirit, because Ost anti-building is fking appalling.
