Mortars need more love

this is why i stack all those engis who have that perk for future mortar crews

sure, you ā€œcanā€ do that. I just dont like that you are encouraged to do that to get your bang for buck. (leads to people sitting at the back and occupying another slot thats not really pro-active in the battle) I would just prefer High damage low ammo. Id happily trade the ability to resupply.

I dont rearm my mortars, I like to use them to punch a hole to immediently storm into.

preference thing.

See below - they CAN empty a Cap point of enemy, but not if all you are doing is using the 8-12 shells they have without resup…

Except of course they can’t actually do that…so you have a circular argument wher you are deliberately not using them to their best and so you want a buff…

Cant do what? Soften up a hole to punch into?..thats pretty much their best use…(in the scope of how enlisted plays)

Id argue thats its deliberately not using them to their best sitting up the back taking up a player slot for a measly 25 kills over a game.

I would prefer an unnerf. slight difference.

You can’t do that with only 1-2 mortars and their regular ammo.

It isn’t ā€œover a gameā€ - it is as a rapid-fire barrage as fast as you can resup them.

then they become infantry until they die and get replaced in the normal manner just as you would use them I’m guessing - except you can have upwards of 25 kills already, and a bigger squad to proceed with.

They aren’t nerfed at all if you resupply them - any lack of performance the way you use them is a choice you have deliberately made.

you ā€œcouldā€ do that before is what I am refering too.

you know that works both ways right? you have deliberately chosen to hunker down and resupply them to make up for the performance taken away. You appear to be making the mistake of thinking that my opinion of them being better before has anything to do with not being able to use them as they are now, not adapting or not understanding how. Not at all, I was pretty clear about that. I use mortars probably more than most (they are always in my lineup).

Its very simple. I liked the old way better because it was more aggressive and just happens to suit my playstyle. And aggression is pretty important in Enlisted, on both sides.

The whole ā€œadapt and overcome choiceā€ you are suggesting also applied to anyone who wanted it nerfed in the first place, and yet here we are.

And that’s how you also reliably score an average of 1.6 new ā€œnerf mortarsā€ threads on the forum per match.

One of the mjor disadvantages of mortars is the lack of versatility.
If I can take only 3 squads, mortars are just a gimmic I take for fun and not to be effective.
