Since we are adding fun mortars Japan can have at least 4 mortars to make their tech tree unique now they have only 1 so I suggest this mortar to be next:
Mitsubishi Ki-46-III B “Dinah” Shadowhunter’’ will be interesting BR III ground attacker with cluster bombs. This will give unique mortar experience to Japan since we are giving the soviets such interesting mortars Japan also had very interesting mortars that can be added including a plane mechanic with the same type of bomb(if there is interest I have for US similar plane).
Oh all the nations have so many interesting options for mortars, especially if we include more emplaced ones that would have to be built instead of being deployed.
Yes cant believe the premiums are more interesting the the entire update… the update is not bad but a bit poorly implemented but we shall see when they release it but it has many interesting ideas in this update so its positive update despite a lot of blunders …
Yeah I liked what the update added, but how its been added, the behaviour of the CM and etc has just been extremely disappointing to see, its kinda killed my mood for a bit, Im thinking I drop the game and pop in against for the next event.
Well at least I’m gonna get my paratroopers one positive thing. Sadly the vehicles are not added in the right BR. But people will use them as they are since for Japan its miles better then the other ground attacker
I remember coming across those AA mortars when I was doing research for my AA mega thread. I considered writing a suggestion post about it some point down the line and I’m very happy to see it brought up.
Especially considering what’s coming from the Soviets. And I remember vaguely Japan also had a bunch of other cool little mortars too, some heavy rocket ones which could be a nice alternative to a grenade machine gun, as the buildable structure.
I’m certain the Allies probably have something cool and niche too, so we could see some asymmetric balance and give everyone some funky mortars.
Anyhow I’m always down to see Japan receive new toys!
Well this is where the game is going just wait for the upgrade with the new soviet automatic mortar
Squad 44 have very realistic mortars very fun. Here mortar squads are not played at all when was the last time you have seen mortar squad ? (not to mention rocket spam is still better then this or spamming assaulter squads )
Artillery is a call in and event limited
vehicles are premium and toxic
the new automatic mortar is unknown and super toxic
just because its in the game does not mean its not toxic
this would be i am guessing tech tree and faction limited or super toxic
Thats a normal mortar that other factions have simply the ammo is a bit better against infantry and worse against vehicles like the Soviet mortar is better vs tanks but worse against infantry how can it be toxic ?
Or you mean the plane bombs they are also much worse then HIVAR rockets.
both you have a single mortar shell causing multiple downs/kills over a larger are than a single mine shell. or a bomb that can work over a larger area. it a going to be no different than a comparative weapon or b be much better.
and no a slower rate of fire wont help. first with bombs there is no slower fire. second the weakness of mortars is not rof its lack of line of sight. changing a mortar from a gun to a shotgun without loss of range
i mean with mortars they could be balanced but wont. mortars an shoot a long way not familiar but i am betting deep into the gray. if the shotgun mortar was limited to half way into the playable area to two thirds maybe. i dont know how to balance cluster bombs maybe timers or something for sub munitions.
soviet mortars require skill a Japanese shotgun grenades are the exact opposite. it takes skill to hit an tank and fear less to proximity kill a soldier with sub munitions.
This changes nothing since here artillery is not realistic you have range of 100 m and you can hear them shooting so you can easily go with SMG guy and wipe his entire squad go to any other WW 2 game and look how artillery is made like Squad 44 here artillery squads will be useless no matter how much they are buffed exactly to the limitation of 100 m.
(there is anti tank and few more interesting ones).
