I unlocked the mortar artillery.
But, it was useless because there was no equipment to measure the distance.
I think it’s a good idea to add a rangefinder to the toolkit.
Mortar artillery poses a threat by having a rangefinder, but since they do not have a Medipack, they can be easily eliminated.
The development team needs to consider my opinion.
Every marker put down by you or your teammates has range indictator.
But I agree. Having to measure that range by hand could bring some solution to spamming mortars. It would require going out of your safe spawn zone.
Except they are sitting inside their spawn with no way to kill them outside of other mortars, or planes.
Imo, this stuff needs a nerf so mortar users have to actually think:
Add grid markers on the map, alongside a range indicator for the map grid, then remove range indicators for everything else.
Alternatively/additionally, make it mortars cannot shoot from inside spawns so people can actually counter them, and/or remove the engineer from the squad so they can’t easily restock ammo, and/or just remove the ability to get ammo from ammo crates entirely.
