Type 97 81mm Mortar - Japan Tier 5

This is the Japanese counterpart to the German 8cm Mortar which is also Tier V

If that’s not strong enough for tier V, there’s also;
Type 94 90mm Mortar
Type 2 120mm Mortar
Type 96 150mm Mortar

That the Japanese used as well

Sounds good. Did the americans also have 80mm mortar? The 60mm m2 is quite poor for t5 and it is more comparable with t3 rm 40

I dont know but japs have a rocket one who was a true mess for americans,it appears even in the movie “letters of iwo-jima”

lol you mean this?

That could work as a new engineer buildable for mortar teams

YES,IT´S real thing

sigh
Once again, the Type 97 is quite heavy with 67kg and is just gonna look silly on the soldiers.
A better option would be the Type 99 which is lighter and more compact yet keeps the same 81mm shells.

The german 81mm mortar at tier V literally weighs also around 60+kg

Agreed, bump

Kz 8 cm GrW 42 weighs ~26-28kg, it does not literally weigh ~60+kg.
And besides even if they went with a heavier model (like the 8 cm Granatwerfer 34 thats in the editor), how does one mistake justify making another?
Again this looks dumb
