the uhh... the range isnt 800 miles... that would be Mils, a unit of measurement for the angle of the mortar. The range for the mortar is 550 meters according to this table:
+1 otherwise.. Although i do believe it should be a battalion specific thing because fuck battalion generalization. Would be cool to see DU actually have a mortar they can go full power on since the AV-7 just isnt usable without measured angles for the gun.
So this definitely doesn’t require a server wide training with rules and documents if it was implemented. It shouldn’t even be placed into the hands of a singular group on the server and should be regulated within each battalion whether they decided to have an actual intensive training for it or not.
Support should not receive this. They are pilots and engineers not heavy weapons specialists. However I don’t believe this should go to the heavy class either. I personally believe that this should take the place of the RPS-6 in all ARF loadouts and the RPS-6 should be given to the heavy classes. ARF troopers when not scouting ahead are usually back behind at a distance or up high where they could snipe. This would also put them in the perfect position to operate a mortar.
The last thing we need is a 20 page google document telling someone how to operate a mortar. People are gonna end up friendly firing with it either way. Also screw you Black cause I was finna throw this up myself.

God no -1, have you even looked at what is required in order to run this addon? You're going to need:
1. https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=957412794 0.409mb (okay..)
2. https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=495762961 (79.536mb) <--- NO. It will install the old flight system we used on the server which we dont want.
I am not counting the required LFS addons as we're already running those addons.
+1. Giving it to heavies would mean they would get the upgrade that the founders have been looking for.
Also I can't wait to see the recreated battle of 501st vs 212th ;)
+1. But I don't agree with giving it to Support classes seeming they got a lot of stuff already.
I would say give it to heavies, but this Mortar actually requires teamwork and coordination so there would have to be a training for it.
Agreed that it would require a training to be received for it. I would be down to create one myself possibly with anyone who wishes to help. Maybe 212th and 501st could host it since they were seen using these in lore?
