Need help with mortar team.
Okay so I have some difficulties to get the AI mortar team operating as an effective unit. I command them to fire 8 rounds to point X and this is what they end up doing instead:

This is clearly not how the mortar team is supposed to work. So any advice how I make them act like they are supposed to?

mortar scripts need a review, I will check it. Can you confirm they reached the waypoint you gave them?

Yes they reached the waypoint, however when they assembled the mortar, they didn't man it and the team was shown as a regular infantry unit in the HC mode and I was unable to command them to fire. I had to take control of the AI and put it on the gunner seat. Then it was again shown as a mortar team in the HC and now I was able to command them to fire. And after the command they started doing what they are doing in the video.

Yeah the mortar squad seems to like to do that. As you said you just have to take control of the unit and place them in the mortar yourself. Also, I wouldn't put the mortar on a side of a hill, because it seems to have a chance of viggling weirdly and when you request a fire mission they won't actually fire.

I gotta try if it actually can be because of the slope of the hill.

Edit: Well they seemed to now actually mount the mortar and they completed the fire mission, when I placed them on flat ground.

That's good, but do keep in mind they still start screwing around even if they are on flat ground, at least for me they do.
