It isn’t fun or engaging at all to get constantly stunned by some toolbag sitting safely outside the map spamming his mortar
Either block them from being used outside the other team’s playable area or just remove the fucking squad

I haven’t seen mortar in game since the ammo nerf.
I don’t think they need anything, buff nor nerf.

Yep F mortars. No real way to counter them and by the time you realize they are dropping on your location, it’s too late.

I’ve been getting stunlocked by them the past two days
Fuck even removing the stun from them would be a good step
Fuck them

this since ammo crate nerf they aren’t that meta anymore but used if you have 2 engies with perks.

Even without additional ammo they are great for “sniping” enemy AA, MGs, snipers and other guys who think that camping is a good idea.

I’ve been playing mortar squad for some time, sometimes getting bombarded myself and IMO they’re not that OP at all, especially since the last ammo box nerfs, even with 2 engies in squad i can’t build infinite number of crates.
With two engineers I can build only 3 ammo boxes at once (30 rounds, 10 mortar rounds from each box). Then i should build 3 new ones again, that takes some time again. I haven’t counted exactly, but fully upgraded mortar team with 2 engies gets aroud 100 rounds or so and that’s it.
Seems like too much but it isn’t because… usually 3 or 4 shells should be fired at point to kill someone. 1-2 shells isn’t enough for confirmed kill,as mortar not direct fire weapon and shells fall randomly around perimeter, so 1-2 shells only bruises them not kill (white mark not red one with skull), so you can count yourself… Usually on invasion maps if mortaring objective which is frequently stormed, on average I gather (at best) 30-35 kills or so before I run out of ammo and building materials completely.
Maybe 40 kills are possible if enemies really are rushing mindlessly in hordes but higher than 30-35 that’s very rare. Usually you make less then 30 kills out of 100 mortar rounds.
So i think they are good now. (balanced more or less)

Honestly if they had to be inside the map to use it and I could actually go and stop them I wouldn’t make these threads 
The lack of counter makes it extremely frustrating and that motivates me to come here and chimp out

I mean, whole grey zone is in need of serious rework.
We have tanks, AA, mortars, snipers etc. that are ok to deal with, UNLESS they are camping in a grey zone because then they become uncounterable shit.

Mortars are one of the few ways for regular soldiers to counter camping enemy out of the battle area.
There aren’t really way to counter them or it’s not worth the time to hunt them, unless you know their location and can plane bomb. When they bombard me I just try to ignore them. I hold my squad somewhere near objective , preferably under roof as most mortar players bombard only inside of objective, rarely the perimeter around it and then I try to capture it using one soldier at time.
While they’re rebuilding ammo crates it’s also good time to sneak out.
P much
I’d still appreciate being able to counter them rather than it just be a low skill low risk kill farming method
Mortars are fine.
It’s the out-of-bounds that need work.

Mortars don’t really seem to be overpowered so they don’t need balancing or removing no offence just because you get killed by something on a constant bases does not mean it is overpowered or it needs to be removed.
I’ve come up against mortars quite a lot you just have to keep moving and not camp in one spot. I’ve had more issues with constantly being bombed by planes but meh its enlisted you can get killed by anything and everything pretty easy however it doesn’t bother me as i can kill everything else with ease.
No offence but perhaps its a good idea to not bitch on the forums about everything that kills them complaining that its overpowered. Quite a lot of people seem to do this and this sort of complaining just gets things unnecessarily nerfed because the developers take the complaining seriously then precede to nerf things into the ground making them not really worth using. And if not most of the time the developers don’t actually play the game and just go on feedback without knowing what needs changing themselves due to not playing the actual game.
Therefor they end up doing more harm than good and thus break it and generally piss the majority of the player base off I really hope enlisted does not end up going down this direction though.
Seen this happen in many other games i have enjoyed over the years.
Sorry for the rant 
They just need to be counterable, I agree with the people saying they’re rather balanced now.
No more out of bounds fuckery and mortars are golden.
Until then I’m free to chimp out about it
I mean they kinda are eventually hes either gonna get shot in the face with a scoped rifle by some guy camping a mile away from him, mowed down by a tank or get his cute little mortar ass bombed to shit by your friendly neighborhood bomber.
So i would say you can counter them pretty easy and with everything blowing up around you at a rate not seen since the bombing of Germany during ww2 by the allies, I very much doubt his life expectancy will be very long.
Thus the issue of the guy spamming mortars has been solved you wanna know why ? yea ? you sure ? because its war and he just got so fucked up and his arm is about half a mile away from his body due to the bomb that just hit him so he wont be spamming any mortars anytime soon.
He can sit safely in his spawn in places you can’t see from your playable area, its not counterplay to shoot him after he’s done
mortar player can sit in their spawn and throw mortars over walls into the mouths of allied players
mortars were balanced fine when you couldn’t refll them from ammo crates but because the people that play this game are knuckle dragging trashwater-gurgling animals, they cried about it
I get a mortar task every now and then, and that is the only time they come out of retirement… takes 2-3 games usually to get 40 or 50 kills as required.
Used to take 1 game to get 90+
Mortars are fine.
