please add artillery to pavlov

[RAL8]

This is a request for the devs, but also a discussion of the players opinions and if you think that this would be a good idea.

I think that It would be cool if Pavlov added arty, kinda how they did with tanks, not like howitzers, but in the WW2 mode or maybe even the modern day one could we add something like a mortar tube? you could do this two ways, either it spawns in a set location and it is just one mortar, or you could make it expensive and anyone could by it. If it spawns in then I think that you you would have infinite ammo kinda like the tank, and if you have to buy it, then it would have a limited number of shells, like 5 for example.

The way that it would be used is you would have to deploy it down then line up a sort of iron sight towards the direction that you would want to fire it. Then you would have to change the distance that you would want to fire it at, I think that the way you do that is just moving the right joysticks thumbstick up. The ranging would have to work in increments of measurements so the mortar is not to accurate. We also need to make this be able to be done in a somewhat short amount of time, because Pavlov is a fast paced game.

Another thing to add is I think that the mortar shells would have to have a slight delay between the time that they are fired and when they hit the ground, like two or three seconds. I also think that damage wise and damage range wise it would act exactly like or very similar to a grenade.

Some other things that I think should be added to the WW2 game mode are small things like:
Scope attachments to bolt actions, binoculars to see further distances, and different types of grenades.

Let me elaborate on the different types of grenades since the other two are self explanatory.
I think that there should be two separate types of nades, one that is High Explosive (HE) and another that is Anti-Personnel (AP). The current two models of nades that are in use for both sides would be the AP nades, and you could add a new model for the HE nades, I think the model would either be some sort of Satchel that you would place on the sides of the tank, or a bundle of dynamite. The HE nades would be used against tanks or any other form of armored vehicle in the future. I think that the HE nades would still do damage to infantry but less damage in a smaller radius.

i know the shack version is limited but they could add atleast the sniper scopes and a 50.cal like the one in this pavlov and i like the idea of artillery but how would you aim

I answered that in the comment but I can explain it better here, if you look at many models of a mortar tube you can see they have either a line or some sort of iron sight, you would just line up the mortar in a direction using that and enter the distance. Then 2-3 seconds later an explosion happens where you aimed.
This also ties into the binocs where useing the binocs I think you could mark some point on the map where you are looking where something like a red dot appears and this would help not only players know enemy’s locations if you communicate well. but also mortars aim. I also think that binocs would have some sort of tool that allows you to find the distance where you would want to aim.

I believe there are a few WW2 maps that have mortars or at least there used to be. It was pretty neat and worked pretty well as I recall.

Trenches has a mortar.

And there is a artillery mod that has been added to numerous Push maps.

I want it to be official, not a mod.
