BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 And will they come in both the static 120mm mortar set-up and the towed 120mm mortars that were mounted on trailers? I have already done a search on the topic with no clear answer to this question.

Panzer Leader Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 You are correct, sir, there have been no answers forth-coming. We have (obtusely I'm sure) pointed out the fact that on some larger CMBB maps, a 120mm mortar would not have the range required to fire from one end to the other, REQUIRING on board mortars, but as of yet, mum's the word.

KNac Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 And even some artillery pieces. With 9x9 km maps thre are some artillery guns that haden´t got that range :eek: :eek: :eek: it would be cool to have 120mm mortars ingame, probably fixewd with a lot of ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 KNac, It is 9 square kilometres (say, 3km x 3km) not 9 km square. Still, 3x3 or 4.5 x 2 is still big enough to warrant onboard artillery pieces in many situations. Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Paulus Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Damned! I thought the maps could be 9 X 9 Kilometers. Am I wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMplayer Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 It would be a bit of a fiddle because even with on board artillery or large mortars, they ought to be able to fire indirectly with the help of an FO. But this ain't likely to happen. So I'd be satisfied with the old system. If the mortars don't technically have range to every inch of the map, the remedy is to simply not worry about it. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olle Petersson Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Originally posted by Panzer Leader: ... would not have the range required to fire from one end to the other, REQUIRING on board mortars, ...This is something of a no brainer... In the current CMBO maps are often larger than the maximum range of 3"/81mm mortars, but off map mortars still can reach every point of the map. (At the same time the maps are commonly beyond minimum lobbing range for German IGs*, so logically they should be able to do IF missions while on map.) Cheers Olle * Range with the gun at maximum elevation and minimum propellant was for the 75mm IG about 400m, and for the 15cm about 800m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
