Ginkgo Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 I've read somewhere that mortars are very good at taking out fixed gun positions. Yet very time I get 3 or 4 of my mortar guys together and get them to CHARGE a fixed gun position they get shot to bits, run away and leave there little tripod thingies in the middle of the field. Anyone else have this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 Maybe your mortar guys just don't have the 'moxy' to take out those gun postions. [This message has been edited by Time (edited 08-21-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 Charging with mortars isn't the best approach. Give them cover and advance slowly. Better yet, if you have a good , high postion, let a Headquarters unit spot for your mortars--which are back on a reverse slope. I tend to use FOs more than on map mortars, though. ------------------ Land Soft--Kill Quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they should 'take out' a nice girl to a posh restaurant. That could be your problem. I find fixed gun positions actually make dreadful dates.

Abbott Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 Mortars are not a close combat weapon. They are a ranged weapon. Lay back a few hundered meters and let them fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginkgo Posted August 22, 2000 Author Share Posted August 22, 2000 Tis a joke no... i mean i really know how to use mortars, no i do really, they are like a great big hollow club and you use them to hit Gerry on the head with right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginkgo Posted August 22, 2000 Author Share Posted August 22, 2000 ok seriously now, i just thought it would be funny for it to appaer that a new player had misinterpreted the whole mortar/fixed gun thing you know. Kind of ease myself into the community with a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacX Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 Eeeek!! And there's me lifting the mortar to my lips and trying to blow the shells out!! No wonder I can't hit anything.... ------------------ ------------------------ "He wasn't a leader of men. More a follower of women." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their heads are so hard they dent the tube, use the bombs instead. Just be sure to remove the safety pin before you swing it. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
