weapon type:
→ “Type 97 81mm infantry mortar” is a mortar and should be available only for the mortar squad
suggested BR:
→ BattleRating V
type:
→ TechTree, after the Typ 100 Flamethrower
availability:
→ The “Type 97 81mm infantry mortar” should be added into the TechTree at BR V to have an equivalent mortar in the highBR. Currently, Japan is the only nation that does not possess a mortar at highBR. This suggestion would allow Japan to have the same condition like USA / UK.
gameplay purpose & role
→ A mortar normally should provide indirect fire support to engage enemies that are hidden or behind cover. Its gameplay purpose is to provide long-range, high-damage, or suppressive fire that infantry weapons cannot easily provide, making it a versatile tool for both offensive and defensive tactics.
