The range of british mortar emplacements is too good.

[quackcrazycoco]

I just had two 1v1s with brits and they win with those motar emplacements at there base just pummling me.

It's a counter to OKW's ISG. Wehrmacht's mortar half-track incendiary rounds works pretty well against it though.

[quackcrazycoco]

It sadly counters eveything, literal in 1v1 maps it's range is too big and allows it to be hidden in base.

It is immobile so it needs the range to deal with many threats.

The problem of course is that it's designed to counter many threats, so you got it being mildly effective against panzerwerfers, but extremely effective against everything from bunkers to mortars.
Personally I think they should have kept the two firing toggles they had prior to how it is now: you had two toggles, heavy shells for good damage but short range, and light shells for long range but less damage, and less accurate. You need to micro- a little bit more- and it has straightforward pros and cons. Worst case scenario you simply build two pits to toggle both. At least then you have to build two pits to be effective rather than one.

New patch denies brits or anyone making Arty/Emplacements in their HQ sector.

Mortars fire further than sniper yes.
I just use pak40 to kill it

[Midare-Saki]

lol you forget he said at their base lol

[daelin4]

I believe the GSC preview patch disables emplacements from being built in your own base.

[Felinewolfie]

Exactly. So soon fixed

Gawdddd another "allies x is too good" post.

Devs, please remove the allies faction and save yourself some time, continually having to nerf said faction.

[Felinewolfie]

Go read gsc 1.2 balance patch. British nerfed so deep it hurts.

I suggested buffing all axis.
Deleting all axis factions.
Bam. Balance

[quackcrazycoco]

I've seen people put mortar emplacements in there base, I don't know how they do it.

For now. It will be removed.
As for range:
Come on, use brains! It's STATIONARY. If big, expensive object that can't MOVE will also have less range and damage then cheaper and mobile things, WHERE IS POINT in building it?

[quackcrazycoco]

Two mortars in it with better ROF, in small maps it hit's at very long ranges.

[Felinewolfie]

Still it can't dodge
