I've noticed it quite often with other vehicles as well, not just tanks.

a more simple solution is to just lower the auto fire range. you will still have the 115 meter barrage range to deal with camper, but the emplacement can't hold down a significant portion of the map.

What I'm trying to do here is balance things out by changing how they work or are obtained rather than buffing or nerfing their stats, plus that still isn't a solution to the more non-doc mobile in?direct fire question for more mobile and aggressive British players.

Alright so, I will try to cover both ends here so bare with me.

How about, Relic, or whoever is making the Balance preview, adds the 3-inch mortar to the Brits, using either the GrW 34 model or the 3-inch one from the mortar pit but with it's own, fully developed animations, and since I don't believe they'd do that (if they haven't already) just for a balance preview, looking at the American one, let's go with the GrW 34 model.

Alright, so far so good, put it in Tier 2 and then, make the mortar pit only unlockable besides the Bofors, so one upgrade, unlocks these 2 emplacements, the Bofors and the Mortar pit, making it either 20 or 25/30 (35 at the max, or else the British player is investing a tad too much into a better in-direct fire and stalling teching) fuel and either the same man power cost or 200, I don't know. I was thinking of adding the mortar team to the AEC unlock but that would be mean limiting the British player too much in the in-direct fire department so if you don't choose Bofors + Mortar pit, you're basically stuck with the AEC and Base 25 pounders for the rest of the game as far as in-direct fire goes.

This is a stop gap solution to 3 problems, one is the whining about the bofors (increasing the unlock price, delaying it, effectively), the other is the whining about the mortar pit (same thing as the bofors I already mentioned), the 3rd is the need for a more mobile in-direct fire substitute for the mortar pit by default (not doctrinal one, as in the land mattress) for more mobile friendly and aggressive British players. Having the mortar pit be built without the mortars themselves is a nice idea, making it a sort of a fixed position which can be garrisoned with bonuses to the mortar's fire rate (or range) like the vicker's range bonus when garrisoned and at vet 1, the problem then would be that it would be a bit overlapping with the trench in terms of what it does. The only other problem I see here is if it's possible to do, I mean, in terms of modding I think it can be done, when built the mortar pit will spawn with the mortars but they won't be manned, but the idea here is not have the mortars be manned but make it so the mortar pit can accommodate the 2 types of support weapons, or even at least the mortars, but then again why the need for it when you have the trenches which are basically acting the same way?

As far as the mortar pit itself goes, making it spawn unmanned and in need to be either garrisoned or in range of the forward assembly is also a solution but a very costly one to the British player in terms of man power, which is very thinly stretched as it is with the cost of the squads themselves and their reinforcing, excluding the royal engineers.

Just my 2 cents on the subject as a modder and mostly British/OKW player, have a nice day.

It's not, max barrage range LEIG outranges the pit by a mile.

Are you sure it wasn't vetted? Cause I think my leigs were under fire by the mortar pit I was targetting the other day.

I believe the Mortar pit's range is on par with the leig's one altho it becomes a problem when the Mortar pit is a bit behind a forward position that is under attack from a leig. That's when the leig's mobility comes into play while the mortar pit's static style is limiting it.
