Mortar squad now is useless

It deserves a nerf and if i see a mortar man on my team not doing well its a lost cuz hes legit not doing anything to help the team

agree with you, was not fair to have unlimited ammo. But the solution I gave with 30 rounds in 3 soldiers (only 1 mortar x squad) is a good middle point

20 rounds is a good amount… A counter would have resorted to playing whack-a-mole and just been annoying.

I hope they do the same with the Jumbo and don’t introduce a counter. Just nerf that jumbo into a Hellcat or M10. :slightly_smiling_face:

I dont understand how having 20 high explosive shells you can lob over houses that one hit a large radius from your spawn is “weak” or useless". Maybe you’ll “only” wipe one squad which is still a net gain.

I mean they already hinted at panther

agree. Seeing what they did with mortars and premium squads, I see a super nerf to jumbo.

I told some people here in forum that jumbo can be destroyed in 2 hits if you flank and hit him from the side, but people don’t want to flank and said the front armor is still to hard to penetrate.

Dont worry panther will one hit it no problem when its in game

Yep then around and around we go with more and more giant dumb things only the next bigger dumb thing can kill

The Panther will wipe the floor with that 75mm armed Jumbo. Everyone better grind it now and the P-47 as that 47 will be needed to take out a well positioned Panther.

I mean to avoid side tracking this I covered an idea I think will work decent here: New Tanks That Will Balance Out the Jumbo Without Causing Too Much Power Creep - English speaking section / Suggestions - Enlisted

Which is the entire problem with this arms race thing the game has currently created

10 rounds, and you can have two mortarmen in a leveled-up squad. That’s basically 20 nades you can deliver from afar. How is this useless?

That’s why I’m happy with their solution.

They didn’t create annoying counter play or an arms race. They just said… “No reloads” and actually solved an issue with more than 1 Mortar men being kind of a waste. Now it’s useful to get those 10 more rounds.

An entire squad built up around 20 rounds with no other reason to really use it or level it? Yeah I’ll pass. I pass on it now actually

Jumbo doesn’t need a nerf because it’s easily destroyed
It should be removed full stop because it wasn’t even in the Normandy invasion
Just like the M2 Carbine

Same
I like to actually take part in the battle and play the game

Yeah just remove the mortar. Maybe we can actually get people to move into the point without the radio and mortar squad. I’m far more useful on the point with Thompsons than sitting behind some barn

Did I miss a patch note? Mortars can’t resupply now?
