Mortar Calculator

[Dave]

Hey guys! Talk to me about Mortar Calculators...
We want to be accurate right?
Well I'm having a $hit ton of troubles with getting a 2nd computer next to where I play... connected to Wifi.. Ya I have junk that is old...
Is there a downloadable, stand alone, mortar calculator that will work without being connected to the internet?

I don't understand this question to much, I typically have a squad member go and scout for me. They'll tell me if I need to adjust or whatnot, If you can't get a squad member you can use items around on your desk to measure the distance. For example my controller is 300m on the map, so do the math for it and you can get a good estimate.

Are you talking about the Squad small mortars? I'm talking about the bigger ones that can shoot across the map...
If your doing that with the small mortars.... your doing a great job.! google Post scriptum mortar calculator.... you will see what Im talking about... its pretty bad ass... I was just wondering if there is a mortar calc that is stand alone?

Squad small mortars, I take it the 2 inch ones. No, I don't use those there a little harder for me. I presume the "Bigger Ones" are the ones you have to build, I use those primarily and I seem to do a decent job with any squad mate or any item. Maybe, I am not understanding this at hand but I primarily use the mortars you have to build not the small ones you carry around.

If you have an android phone there is an app you could try, search for Post Scriptum Mortar Calculator and you should find it.

Pretty simple to use and reasonably accurate; I don't believe there is an iOS version or alternatives though.

I use the mortar calculator for PS on Android. It's good, and the button clicky noises are tits.

the calculator is not that accurate but its close enough

there is a app for your phone you know..i mean its 2020

Either through inaccuracy or miscalculation of position (via the in-game map and also the calculators) I stopped using these a long, long time ago.
I find it much easier (and saves a lot of time) to do the basic maths and use the current position while occupying the mortar (on the map) and the distance to target judging the grid on the map. Each large square is 300 metres, each small one 100 metres, and so on.
Try to set up mortar positions that do not require too much pythagoros (A squared + B squared = C Squared, etc.), i.e. using perpendicular axes to targets, so: due north, south, east or west, if possible (or not too far from this deviation so you can add a few metres here or there to compensate).
Trust me, you will save a lot of time and be far more accurate not using a calculator. Tedious the first couple times, much better thereafter.

Having someone site rounds for you is always good to.

This is redundant since distance to target has been integrated into the (modern) compass (like Squad) via a Section Leader marker (e.g. Attack), which rounds to the closest 50 metres.

Either become a SL and make the mark yourself or request one. Mortar calculators are therefore obsolete. This also applies to hand mortars in your section.
