Idk, currently mortars are underwhelming unless you get lucky or can guarantee where your strikes hit. If my teammates are going to sit in the back I’d rather they be effective.

Yeah, that’s a very specific situation. At 200m they have no clue if they are even going to hit you. It’s alright because both if you are blind.

You my friend fell into a logical fallacy, maybe two with your first paragraph. Besides the fact that you claim he hasn’t read it and is not having an argument with you (which he clearly is)
You claim he is only there to refute you, besides the fact that that is the purpose of the forum, to discuss and respectfully argue, you also ignore in your previous post how you also are only there to refute him.
Do not hate the person, be unhappy with his ideas but not his rhetoric and ideals.

Comming from Company of Heroes, I do like incendiary mortars… Though incendiary damage is incredibly nerfed in this game
*Stare at Drop tanks

81mm mortars are medium mortars though, Heavy onces are 12cm+

You realize the smoke rounds for the M2 mortars were WP, right? That is what the 60 mm mortar teams had. They could/would be used to fire at enemy positions, but if they were encased in their defenses, that would be useless. That is why they were used as smoke screens to mask their troop’s movements.

These 60 mm smoke shells are WP shells, but they do not act like them (they don’t instantly fan out at max length, they don’t stay long enough, and they don’t hurt anyone) or even look like them (they are thick in the area close to impact and thin when medium to far out from it). If you believe this is a different smoke shell, show me its designation and the year it was produced.

As for the urban areas on the Eastern front, I say this: No German mortar teams were lobbing up WP shells as they did not have any. The only WP munitions used by the Germans were:

  • Brandbombe B-10
  • FlĂźssigkeitsbrandbombe Brand C-50 A
  • FlĂźssigkeitsbrandbombe Brand C-50 B
  • FlĂźssigkeitsbrandbombe Brand C-250 A
  • Streubrandbombe Streubrand C-500
  • 7.92×57 round (PmK - Phosphor mit Kern)
  • certain shells for the le.F.H. 18

The Soviets apparently used American WP shells from the Shermans and Howitzers they received.

Since none of these things are mortar shells, that is irrelevant, as neither Germany nor the Soviets will ever use WP mortar shells.

As for the Japanese, they created a 95 mm WP mortar shell and their WP grenade. Their knee mortar could fire type 91 grenades, so that is why I mentioned their grenade. The only people who would see WP mortar shells are Germans, Americans, and Japanese. Two that are equipped with them and one that is more than equipped to take care of them.
