I usually don't do mortars soon but since I always encounter many maxims against soviets and usually they bunker up on that map I went with mortar straight ahead...ironically I also took it for the smoke barrage but I was too distracted to ever use it...could say it was a morning after the night shift but I won't be making excuses for my failures

Bunker idea could be good but I almost never make them since I am not a fan, I prefer to spend 100 more req for mg42 and keep 60 mun for myself, but I might try it sometimes.
My map control and capturing order was horrible that match I must admit, I don't think I've ever had such bad map control so I will try to keep more attention to that in the future.
Usually used arty officer for extra manpower and its ability. I actually used it 2-3 times at the beginning but not at its full attention since officer usually was in team with 1 grenadier. I think of trying out blitz commander with g43 instead of arty officers to see how will that go.
Anyway the sandbags got me interested. Are they supposed to give bad cover?
Anyway much thanks for this, I only expected a few comments but this was a nice insight ^^.
