I’m being genuine when I say this isn’t a complaint but a curiosity, I was just wondering why we unlock 3 event mortars in Normandy when the only mortar squad in the campaign can have 2 mortar men only, if we can transfer them between campaigns then I’d understand but they never confirmed in the devblog if we can or not.

Just a guess, maybe can be used across the 3 allied campaigns?, just unlock one each campaign, just a guess 
was guessing that it be like the LMG event, that Besal could take on Tunisia or Normanday etc 
etc

That’s what I’d assume/prefer but it says “Invasion of Normandy” under the item when you look at the mortar in the event menu, they made the Besal transferable so I can imagine they can make the mortars transferable too.

3$ in your pocket is better than 2$ in your pocket at the end of the day.

Like I said I’m not at all complaining it’s just weird to give us an extra item we can’t use at the moment🤷♂️

The only possible reason I can figure out is that it’s a choice done with the future progression system in mind.
Supposedly, with merged campaigns we could have more than one US mortar squad, hence an use for three mortars.

I had assumed that as well but I didn’t think about the fact we’ll be able to use multiple mortar squads, honestly I hope they give us the ability to transfer the mortar so I can play as Eugene Sledge and his mortar squad😎
All rewards from this event (with exception of gold order) feel like will be more useful after new matchmaking, we will probably be able to take 2 mortar squads and those AT rifles will have low BR rating so will be able to be taken to low BR matches with crappy tanks that have horrible armor (so 30mm pen at 100m would be more than enough)
If you’re right, could that hint towards the new system going live near the end of march or soon thereafter?
That progression was meant to be released in Q2 so def not March, I was thinking they would introduce it in May or early June, even April is a possibility if they been working on it for a while and just don’t show us. They are already late with Q1 roadmap features it seems like everything may get delayed, but we will see, past roadmaps were just a suggestions and sometimes features took more than a few months to introduce.
Not that I’m in a hurry for the change (already unlocked almost everything anyway).
I’m very interested in how the transition will be managed though. So I’m eager to see devblogs (as we all are) about what will happen to what we currently have.
Well, as long as we dont have sort of pre-made squads or people really spam more than one mortar squad (but why?), its still pointless.
Score 30 kills with mortars
Fair enough
Keo already posted the squad with the update gonna be reworked so expect more mortar in the mortar deticated squad if not even in other squad

it smells the bot will fire at your target … how make this game more canqerous … more explo spam more kills for the no skill
If bot learn how use other things than their rifle seems good to me sure it need balancing but always better than the current state
There is only 1 mortar squad available.
who ever thought ‘mortar’ would be a household word in here ?
What a glorious time to be a mortar in.
Even if it’s only will last a couple o days.
