kohlenklau Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 German 50mm mortar. I see it in the brz files BUT it could just be a carryover from another title. I dialed the dates in the editor, read the manuals, but can't seem to find it as a purchasable team... Throw me a frick-in bone Scotty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEB14 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 What do you mean? I just faced one such mortar in my last CMFI game (Hilltop to hilltop). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEB14 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I checked again and it happens it was a 81mm mortar. Sorry for the false info. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brille Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 As far as I know they were out of service by the time any CMx2 game takes place... A quick search on the net also confirms this: Starting in 1942 they were withdrawn from frontline service due to their insufficiant effects on the battlefield. They were used however by occupation forces till the end of the war. I like to play the brits with their 51mm mortars. They are more reliable to hit anything and have a wider range in comparison to rifle grenades....maybe a bit to low on he rounds. So I would like to have a german counterpart. That´s another reason more to finally give us some early war games or modules !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 They are in CMRT as a purchasable "Light Mortar Team" but it is confusing that the Fallschirmjägers ALSO have what is "called" a light mortar but that is actually an 81mm mortar where they cut part of the barrel off to make it lightER. It is odd that this grw36 50mm mortar shows up in CMFI brz file v210a in the weapons folder which came with Rome to Victory final module. It could be tucked in an obscure TOE but NOT be purchasable by itself. OR maybe it is triggered to appear when you select poor quality for unit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure exactly which TO&Es have them, but they're there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 @akd Hello sir. Is this anything you might have the ability to confirm about CMFI grw36 50mm mortar? Is it actually in the game somewhere? Or maybe just stuck along with a weapons folder from use in a different title. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be because I play rarely with second line infantry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange if one considers the versatility of the 60mm mortar, one of the most powerful infantry weapon of CM-WW2! 6 hours ago, Brille said: That´s another reason more to finally give us some early war games or modules !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
