Why should AT guns be protected against mortar fire? |

Basically because they are too powerful vs ATGs, most people seem to be in agreement of this. Sure, they dont have top armour, but in this game the mortars make ATGs useless. What do you want? A less than half-way historically accurate battle simulator, or great gameplay. You can't have both in CC. Theres a few compromises for each case... - Decrease accuracy or mortars - Decrease mortar ammo - Decrease amount mortar teams - Increase reload/flight time - Decrease mortar teams characteristics - Increase ATG Armour - Increase ability of ATG to destroy targets on 1st shot - Increase ATG teams characteristics |

I have also heard of the 'firing from the hip' stories, although I never saw it done...probably the sort of thing the nut-cases in the Paras would get up to! |

Thats a very good idea Kojusoki.....
Also it would end the constant wrangling over guns, haltracks, and even in some mods tanks which are all damaged or destroyed by infantry mortars. Maybe some method could be found not only to increase the amount of barrage fire from 'off board' mortars but of also firing a decent smokescreen. IIRC in the Omaha mod there are observers who can provide a long range smokescreen, possibly something along these lines might be adpted?. I know this would use a team slot, however slots would be freed up by removal of the med/heavy mortars. I think this is ceratinly a radical idea and probably needs to be refined by discussion, but my first reaction to it was favourable. I can certainly see situations or reasons why mortars would maybe be part of a BG. However I think this is a great starting point for a discussion that just might bring about a real step in the development of this great game. Cheers Ronson PS if theres an idea of the year award, I'll nominate Kojusoki:) |
