It honestly depends on what type of mortar though.
The 50mm mortars have small blast radius but fire quickly. In my experience they work pretty well for suppressing fire, especially if you alternate back and forth between smoke and HE.
The 60mm mortars from events are honestly just right in most situations. As long as you have someone to mark out targets (make some friends), you can blast the area quickly and effectively. Again, alternating with smoke is pretty effective.
The 80mm mortars on Berlin are absolutely devastating. Iāve been trying to work toward unlocking them but I donāt think Iāll get it done before the merge. Iāve seen people use them (my buddy included) to absolutely devastating effect. Pretty sure they have a big smoke screen too right?
Either way, Iāve seen accurate shots not just kill infantry in mass, but also able to kill tanks.
Mortar squads CAN be effective, IF you have a teammate spotting for you. I still think that a āmortar pitā construction could help with their effectiveness, and since I have refined the idea from the last time I posted it, Iāll make a new thread.
