if we get mortars how will they be deployed?

SGT.JOKER · 08-02-2007, 11:52 PM

i read the majority of posts about morters but i never really came across how they were gonna be deployed, will a certin class be able to place them like BFV or will it be a commander type asset?

LekyIRL · 08-03-2007, 12:07 AM

I'd say it'll be a limited kit.

He means, how will we operate them, shoot them, deploy...

In 0.7 everything will be limited, lol

I used to love mortars in BFV, really under-utilised kit, but really useful if you put them next to a static ammo dump and used them to surpress a flag. Especially if you had a decent scout with binocs marking up a target for you.

i like the poe2 mortar system

I have some ideas for mortars that .. if they will work .. will make the mortars about as realistic as I can see a BF2 game getting them to be. Not sure if my ideas will work tho

They will likely be a CMDR asset, probably only operable by certain classes, and will need a fairly constant supply of ammunition. Not sure if the "mortar pit" will be a single mortar, or actually a small mortar battery of 2 or 3 mortars.

They will never be a direct fire weapon. They will require ranging and a spotter.

Still working on the details, the basic weapon is still in production because the way we want them to work requires some "mastery" in the way they are set up in game.

I wish to +1 them being a battery weapon.

ReaperMAC · 08-03-2007, 02:57 AM

Yeah, having them in a battery sounds good. They could replace the BF2 artillery system in-game and also become a commander asset.

[R-DEV]AfterDune · 08-03-2007, 03:42 AM

Having them in a battery? What does that mean?

And what's the difference with... not having them in there?

Egg, I like what you're saying there, I hope this can be done!

Very cool! I love the idea. Again +2 to the battery of mortors.
