Title: Mortars On M3's
Post by: SirLoin on March 18, 2004, 05:23:09 AM

Why not?...Add it to the loadout selection option(instead of troops/supps)...M3's did carry mortar crews so wouldn't it be fun to lob onto a town or strat target?...And have it score like rockets from a PT boat so it WILL count for "Object Hit%"

What do you all think?>>>:aok

Sure.  But it'd be really hard to aim.

What kind of targets would the morters be effective against in AH?  They are primarily used to attack troops and soft targets, neither of which occur in large enough quantities to be practical.

Towns?  Soft items at a field?  Field Guns?



remember, the M3 is really weak itself.  For GV's to be used effectively, you really need to use good tactics.

I want this and those rocket artilary trucks the ruskies used.


Btw, would be nice if we could command a platoon artilary vehicles...

You can destroy a brick building with a pintle gun BTW...It's a gameplay idea with existing models that I'm suggesting.

Poop on mortars...ask for the M7 Priest. It would do a tiny bit more damage. :D

LOL

But to get serious again, I think we should get trucks, faster then a M-3, but weaker. They will carry the same load as the M-3, but without the .50 on it (or not)
Would come in very handy for shipping stuff over great distances (like over roads etc.)
