The 3" and 4" mortars were purely using the UC as transportation, however the 2" version is as I suspected something that can be set up and fired from within the UC. I wasn't 100% sure of this earlier today, but now I'm reasonably confident:



Interestingly the 2" mortar was not only fired from the UC, there was a permanent mount in some UCs for it. So it was truly a Self Propelled Mortar, unlike the 3" and larger versions. Apparently the Australian 3" carrier was a specially modified version that could fire while mounted or dismounted, however that's not in British use.

Ok more googling:



3" mortar upgrade for UC in Tier 1/2 (or whatever we consider the tier when Mortar Pit usually unlocks) is possible within the realms of historical fudging, I think. Possibly even a 4.2" for late war!

The problem - they dismounted from the UC to fire

I'm not sure if the 2" could fire from within the UC itself.

Delete mortar pit is fine as long as you give the Brits as Universal Carrier mortar upgrade option. And that it's solid.

100 nanometers isn't a very long distance

Jokes aside, very cool project - good luck!
