Mortars are still used alot in combat and i think there should be a class for them. This is how it would work, the Mortar class would have a primary - either a shotgun or an SMG (similar to anti-tank class). Pistol, knife, etc. They would also get the mortar tube. It would take about 5 seconds to set up at a location, to aim and fire any other class of soldier would spot ground targets using the spotting sysyem already included in the game. The mortar class would then choose the target and fire away. It could be used on tanks, large groups of infantry, etc. The blast would have about 2-3 times the power and radius of a normal hand grenade. It could have about a 10 second reload time. It would be great because you could attack a position without putting yourself in danger, it would also help against baseraping tanks because you could spawn, hide, and set up your mortar allowing you to take out the tank. It would also help take flags that seemed impossible to take.  You could also take out annoying snipers that you just cant seem to hit with regular weapons.. Good idea or no?

EDIT - I accidentally deleted and double reposted this SOOO many times, god this website is fucking slow.

hmm... sounds interesting, although i don't know how many people will like it

i bet 99% of people will just say "god no, there are too many classes already" or something

i think it's a cool idea, but it may need to be tweaked a little, i mean 10 sec to reload is WAY to long, maybe 3 or something, but 10 is just insane

don't think EA or Dice would even consider it though...

It's actually a good idea, if it wasn't for the fact that a commander can do the same thing much more effectively and safely with his artillery strikes. :\

I dont think it takes to long, take about that time for a real mortar to get set up. 3 seconds would mean insane mortar spamming, giving you time to escape, and there would be too many people using it.


EVERYTIME I POST IT DOUBLE POSTS?? I only press the button once, what the hell is going on?

could just re name anti tank and merge them into one, giving an option between using launcher or mortar.

Yeah a mortor class would be nice. But they might make it like the last dc patch which killed the mortor by making it fucking inposible to use efectivly

I loved the mortor in DC and BFV! I would love to see it return to virtual combat.
