And when I run out of ammo I do - sounds like you’re an arrogant tosser with delusions of adequacy.

Wait for the appropriate time to use them instead of larping as artillery and blindly lobbing shells?
The appropriate time to use them is anytime you know, or think you know where the enemy are gonna be when your shells land. You have no way of reading the mind of whoever is using mortars. I don’t think many people just blindly fire them. If you’re getting hit by them, then they’re using them properly.
It’s like sniping out of the spawn but taken to the next level.
I see maps like the manor which are 90% indoors and these people are still lobbing mortars at something getting 1 kill before they run out of ammo.
Throwing mortars at (or more specifically, around the outside of) buildings is a legit thing to do. It’s an effort to try and catch people who are trying to get inside, or are leaving. And if someone gets one kill, great, that’s one soldier down. Mortars are good for area denial as well as kills, y’know?
More assumptions on your part.
I have had mortars in my last 4 games, and guess what I did? I pushed and killed them. Once you die, it shows the general direction that they are firing from.
Even if they are out of zone, there is still a maximum range they can shoot from so they are never out that far. Sacrifice a few men to kill them, You literally have to kill 2 soldiers since that’s the max a mortar squad can have, and usually a well placed grenade is all you need.
And for whatever reason if you don’t get the jump on them, hopefully you pinged where they are, cuz then all you have to do is:
A) immediately get into a plane and bomb them because their ammo is going to be there and they are unlikely to move, if they did then you succeeded
B) Make a mark using the map and type in chat that there is a mortar in the area. Usually others hate mortar enough to push and/or look in that area to kill them as well.
Havent had major issues with mortar since the nerfs, they are in a decent spot.
Sitting in the back of the spawn sniping the occasional person who enters your line of sight is a legit thing to do. It’s an effort to try to catch people before they can go into buildings or stare out a window in the right direction for too long. And if someone gets one kill that’s one soldier down. It’s good for area denial.
Eehh, Arty is top most useless now. With the huge delay and the fact it displays it on the map for all the enemies to see, And the nerf to damage and drop-rate it is pretty much useless. At least mortars, while annoying to set up the ammo boxes for it, don’t alert the enemy that they’re incoming.
