[Weapon] M252 81mm Mortar

[Blade.3510]

wow!

I wonder what kind of ingame range you'll put on this, since it can fire straight accross a whole map right? are there accuracy penalties to that?

Would be interesting if the ins got this on the back of a technical or somthing, so they can move it around.

What of offmap support then? Will mortars be replaced with something else, or will they suppliment the ingame mortar

I know you guys aren't putting this in for a while, but I bet you've chatted about this kinda stuff.

Anyway, lovely model and skin.

ive seen a moodel of a striker that has it in the back

[j45h89]

strykers come in tons of different variants, i think us brits have a motar in the back of an armoured vehicle, think it might of been an FV430

My concern is people pixel aiming if these things are static in the main. Could they spawn in a random location at main by any chance?

j45h, the bulldog is that what u mean?

[Igloo35]

i guess as far as base attack goes, your team will have to deal with it like every other asset and task a squad to get rid of it. like all you pilots that pick your nose for 20 min waiting on a jet at main and arent sitting in an AA , then scream when your runway gets strafed.

[Blade.3510]

or it makes a squad resposible for guarding the base including patroling perimiter for a mortar team

wow thats awsome cant w8 to see the final result!

162eRI;1087683']Just great!!!! First, it's a beautiful model! Second, can't wait to see it in PR, it will improve a lot the gameplay.

And I'm really glad as it's the same mortar use by the Japanese army (i've to check for the French army)



A nice assests of ammo box and artilry scope would be nice



By the way, have great time in Shangai sir Matrox. Good luck

LOL if Shangai don't ger high internet connectivity, I'm gonna eat my shoes! haha
See U

Actually, I am not sure that is the same mortar, the mount and baseplate appear to be the same, but the barrel does not have the BAD (Blast Attenuator Device), nor do they use the same sight unit or ammunition.

Honestly, DEVs, it may be a low priority asset, but I would love to help advise you guys on this aspect of the game as I just completed 4 years of Honorable service as a Marine Infantry Mortarman.

I can tell you ranges, magnification and FoV of the M64A1 sight unit, nomenclature of rounds, how the FDC works, FO's, anything.

The M252 is based on the british L16, which is originally of mid 1960's vintage. The BAD is a comparably recent addition to it. It's fairly standard in NATO forces afaik. Aussies use it, and wiki says Canadian, Japanese, Dutch and Norwegian forces use it also. (I suspect the French forces do not)

[TheOldBreed]

they look sick. would be great to call in a fire mission

[Adetter]

Will this be like the arty for the MECs,or will it be a player controlled mortar?

[Mad-Mike]

Good Job!
cant wait for this aswell as the rest of the updates

[EnermaX]

Target missed! 50m left! ... Target hit!

[Xeloang3l]

This Weapon was cool and very strong but I think it´s very difficult to take a good damge to the another base.

[Mario988]

I know that the British use this weapon, and maybe more Countries but I'm not sure.
