Good post. Pretty much my thoughts exactly. In light of the Brace nerf, the Mortar Pit is entirely too squishy and usually feels like I just flushed 400MP down the toilet. Its lifespan is short and its field effect consists of getting 3 shots off before it is barraged nonstop by ISG, at which point I brace it, repair with Engineers (who die from splash), and then watch it slowly whittle down into a sad little crater.
how can ur mortar position have a short lifespan? did u ever play coh1? mortar emplacements are meant to build DEFENSIV, at a keypoint or ur cutoff. i really dont know how it can be destroyed before the 10min mark. (except from the LEIG because its as op as centaur, but even then ur mortar pit is probably to close to frontline.
