The Arisaka Mortar is the most toxic weapon

I for whatever messed up reason decided to play BR II Allies. My first match was against Germans, and that went pretty well. By pretty well I mean it was a stomp, which wasn’t particularly interesting. And then the next match was against the Japanese.

The game started out the same way, and I was thinking “here we go again”. But at the last point, some absolute tryhards appeared. I’m talking full lineup of assault squads running vitality, run speed, heal speed with fully maxed out equipment - including swords. Now as it was, that would’ve been enough to make anyone’s day miserable.

But they just had to top it off. With the Arisaka Mortar.

Never have I hated one single weapon more than the Mortar. Like our whole squad would be on the point capping, and the people with the Mortars would purposefully wait until our entire team was on the point before shelling it completely, killing all of us. And I mean all of us. Like who’s idea was it to make such a toxic weapon an event weapon? It completely kills the balance of Japan vs USA.

They might as well just make Japan exclusively fight the Soviets, since they are the two most unbalanced factions in the game. And Japan would still win.

remember how I said ive been getting good matches well for today and yesterday I haven’t lol. none stop being sent to players with br3 gear while I only have br2. I was playing USSR and I got none stop people with mg34, ZK 383 with an endless stream of tanks and planes. today I switch over to germany because im like well maybe everyone in ussr moved to br3 lol… wrong same thing now im seeing kv1s and t-34s and tier 3 AT rockets and somehow my teammates dont have any gear to defend against it lol. maybe tomorrow ill try allies at br5 to see how that goes lol also I would suggest moving to br3 for allies because if you do end up getting Japan at least youll be strong in every weapon type unlike br2 with its carbine and limited selection of tanks

Yeah, I really enjoyed BR III Allies. I just moved down to BR II because I wasn’t having a great time in BR III Axis and Soviets so I thought BR II would be better, and I wanted all my factions to be at a similar BR.

I’ve actually found the Arisaka Mortar to be worse. Maybe because more people got it compared to the RMN. Either way, I hate both of them.

RMN50 goes Ziiiiiiuuum KABLAAAM

Serious i destroy whole German Army with that in the first 20 seconds of match

Why dont the devs finally make capture zones bigger? The crazy amount of HE spam makes it impossible not the get squad wiped when capping.

I only have one of the Ariska Mortars, and haven’t used it. I also have the Soviet equivalent, the RMN-50 to which I have five, but have only used them once or twice. I just don’t play level three Japs or Soviets much.

Usually if I play level two Allies I can sometimes win vs the Germans, but am always curb stomped vs the Japanese. In fact, I have only played Japanese 206 times in 3.5 years but win almost 80% of the time with them. I did play about ten level one/two Japanese games after they turbo charged the Jap smg’s and easily won all ten.

Did you play before the grenade launchers were nerfed? The game was pure hell back then.

I couldn’t imagine a time where even the lowly M1 Carbine GL could do the same damage as a RMN.

ahem, first of all, it’s not event weapon, it’s battlepass so that means they are 4 of them, second the angle of the weapon don’t works as it should be because it go down too fast, third, it don’t have working the anti air sights they used meaning the ones who kill you are skilled with the weapon, so, in general, it’s your problem :3

I can see you’re one of those who abuse it.

It should never have been added. No other faction has a handheld mortar other than Soviets prior. Japan doesn’t even fight them yet.

It is not. Handheld mortars are extremely easily do deal with it.

Mate it’s RMN-50 but nerfed, it has much worse muzzle velocity it’s not as easy to use. If you really want to know pain then go against RMN-50 as Germans, that weapon has no counter outside of snipers and vehicles. Your German guns are ultra weak so you ain’t killing him with your usual weapons without getting nuked from 50m away.

in fact no, I suffer rmn-50 spam with soviets amd I hope they add a german/italian versioms who existed for axis and british one for allieds

They are both quite hard to use intuitively. Especially if you’re used to using GLs you just end up killing yourself lol. Yes i know i have a skill issue with them so no one has to tell me otherwise.

If those soldiers were killed by HVAR spam, no one would bat an eye.
