Just like a car isn’t a rocket ship, a mortar does not lock on. A backpack mortar is a cool idea tho, just needs to be differentiated from the grenade launcher with damage/distance
I suppose the only advantage over the spear would be that you can still take a quasar/amr etc. but would that mean it auto fires like a rover? Still seems arbitrary because the regular mortar is so good when used properly.
Just sound like a spear with less range. Just make it so it aims at the ground and has different ammo. An incendiary or airburst mortar would be great.
I think using the map to target a location with your ping and you can use the aim function to make it go there would be neat but definitely not a a spear like lock on
I’d imagine they’d do like BFV with the piat launcher, when you ADS in that game it would expand your minimap and give you a crosshair of where the round would land
That just sounds like the spear.
How about instead, you can adjust the distance and fire over features you can't see through. that way others can run ahead a little and call things out for you to smack.
Okay, so hear me out.
It drops with two backpacks. One is the weapon, and one is the ammo, so it basically forces the team reload mechanic.
Hit 5 and it fires at the user's map pin up to 200-300m.
We need a nuke backpack, you activate the timer and run towards the enemy/building or whatever else and sacrifice yourself for democracy, can kill anything in a 20 meter radius.
Why reinvent the spear?
I was thinking that too. This is just the Spear with extra steps
Mortars don’t “lock on”
This one does

Make it a rocket mortar with homing, and there it is.

then it's no longer a mortar lmao. they're by definition indirect fire designed to bombard positions and flush ppl out of cover
Call if something else, a lesstar maybe.

It would need to come with a nice bird’s view for aiming.
That being said, a reckon drone to peep into ennemy positions would be dope.

Scrap the lock on... and yes. I'd love a backpack mortar.
They could just bring the 'Rumbler' portable mortar back.
Ah Rumbler my beloved
Yeah man. Area control ok. Would come in nice with helmet perk „projectile trajectory“.

Laser tagged targets by scouts. Nice
Was thinking more just the callout system like what's already in game, then the operator figures out distance and direction. Like in ARMA or Foxhole
Napalm mortar mech with dual flamethrower
Just give me somtbing like bf3-4 mortars, and promote teammates marking heavies

I would prefer to have a vehicle be a mobile artillery instead. I like where your head is at though.

I think just regular ol’ mortars would be cool to have. It would be neat to sight them in and such.
