I was doing my thing when I heard that there was a mortar team firing, managed to take out few guys from that team and approached to get the mortar guy from the hole he was in…
…And it was GREY AREA and I ran there in order to get the guy although I would sacrifice my team for it due to BS reason just in order to silence the mortar so that my teammates would not lose so many men.
I saw the boxes of ammo the mortar had and before I could get there to shoot the guy firing with the mortar I was dead due to GREY ZONE, my entire squad died due to GREY ZONE and the mortar guy just kept firing.
The Grey Zone really needs to be the same for everyone.
There is no way around it, this is getting a bit ridiculous already, tanks, anti-tank guns, mortars, machine guns, snipers firing from the grey zone and you cant do anything in some of the cases?
so you couldnt kill a mortar team because they were doing the historical job of supporting the attacking force from behind the frontlines?
I do agree that greyzones are way too restricting but giving the same area to both teams is a horrible idea and would only result in spawn camping or getting shot in the back as in train escort.
As for mortars, most people have no idea how to use them, but they are deadly and should operate from behind.
Dude was doing a good use of a mortar. He prepared a safe firing position and apparently was doing a good job killing your teammates. A good, skilled use of a tool.
So the only real problem is the gray zone. (Though I’m sure at least a few ppl are willing to suggest a nerf to mortars.)
Well here’s an ideea… mark for close air support? Planes will easily take care of a mortar nest.
Just let the pilot know that he needs to take care of that threat and work with him to help him take it out.
Gray zone camping has not been patched since the day this game was released. It’s very strange why nothing has been done from the dev side until now, because there have been countless complaints and suggestions in that time. Nothing is done yet.
Actually in a lot of the cases (tanks being the exception), you CAN deal with them. If you take a sniper, AT, or engineer squad, you generally have the tools you need to deal with these threats at long range.
If you saw the ammo boxes lined up, you should target that area with any number of options:
mortars
field guns
aircraft
tanks
snipers
Grenade Launchers
etc.
I get that people are frustrated by the greyzone, but in the same token would be even more frustrated by getting killed at their spawn if it didn’t exist. I’ve seen a LOT of suggestions to fix it, but I have yet to see any GOOD suggestions to fix it.
