i really do not get why they would not fix usf mortar.

they must abide by their lengthy QA process religiously no matter how flawed the process and imbalances may be.

The usual, it performs better then axis equivalent, the argument that "its costs more" falls on deaf ears :megusta:

If the range bug is still there, it should be fixed, if its not, well... should have 60 range and be done with it.

After it hits a unit, it continues to 'see' that unit even if in the fog of war (like the OKW infrared haltrack) and will auto-fire on it.

Mainly play US because of the mortar. If you don't do any mistakes its insta win agains ost. and in 2vs2 with Britt-vickers and us-mortar the ost don't have anything else but to try to mad or ostrupp them.

Killing fish in a barrel is still fun.

Edit: and because of the FOW tracking with mortars OST can't even relocate the MG42 effiently...

I've never said its fine.
I've already said I'd like it to have high lethality, but only 60 range to force aggressive use and exposure, making it effective alternative vs garrisons and HMGs, but not superior to other indirect fire weapons, especially PACK howi, which should be superior piece here.

It also has fog of war bug that makes units visible for their entire existence after it attacked them once.

260 mp is nowhere near expensive enough for how good the USF 81mm is. It's the fastest firing and most accurate mortar in the game. It also have the best veterancy among mortar as well. it would need to be ~320 mp to justify its current performance.

All hail to Lelic and their inability to switch 81mm mortar for 60mm :foreveralone:

Becasue it was 60mm mortar which was tested through preview yet Lelic has put 81mm in the patch :snfPeter:

How is that even possible...
Something must be seriously wrong if that can happen by accident when implementing a simple mortar!!!

So high lethality + pinpoint accuracy = what USF needed? Is that the consensus?

I thought USF needed a way to get MGs out of buildings. Having an extremely good chance to wipe a whole squad on the first shot, was that part of the need? with all other mortars, even double british mortar, you can safely let the first volley hit and not fear losing a full health squad, statistically speaking. With the USF mortar there is no such guarantee. If any of your full-health units stop moving, they have a very real chance of being wiped. This gets quite micro-intensive when you have 5+ infantry to juggle constantly.

I had a fresh Volks squad wiped on the first mortar round, it was the first shot fired in the game. The volks squad just vanished, no body parts flying off, nothing. Vaporized.
