Basically… Im thinking of moving the BR V mortars that nobody uses (cuz why would you if you can do more with full auto rifles or even BR IV semi-auto mag rifles.) to BR III and adding more effective Mortars to BR V. These 100+kg Mortars would have a new mechanic (New Mechanic for real BR V Mortars) where the mortar squad will actually have to first deploy the mortar, kind of like when the engineer builds a AT gun etc…
This is how i would envision the BRs to look like and which mortars would fill that role.
