Eagle2 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I was looking at a review of shock force online, when I noticed a screen of what looks like a US Army mortar. Is there something I missed, because this picture looks like the real deal.

Clevinger Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I suppose you mean the pic on the right? It sure does look like the real thing, but the other pics look like screens of an "Alpha" version. Maybe they just did the model but ran out of time to fully implement it before the release? http://www.armchairempire.com/Reviews/PC%20Games/combat-mission-shock-force.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 IIRC it was planned to have them in at first (this is before release), then they were pulled. So there is a screenshot floating around of an on-screen 60mm mortar. Fully functional on-screen mortars should be in starting with the Normandy game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingknives Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 The early alphas had US on-map mortars, AIUI. They were removed because there wasn't a suitable fire control for on-map mortars. The British mortar is a bit different as it is a line-of-sight weapon (or just-out-of-line-of-sight) so is modelled roughly like a big grenade launcher 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheppy Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 http://www.armchairempire.com/Reviews/PC%20Games/combat-mission-shock-force.htm it is a nice thing to have in ww2 but not necessary for modern due to the super fast tot of elite spotters. red hurts for the lack of them, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
