New Unit suggestion: Mortars

Mortar units. They are pretty much artillery but faster. They are also the same as infantry but with the artillery thing and the plane defense, which is at 1 to start with, and they can attack planes with .5 attack. They can be researched from day 2 and have 5 levels. (excluding the elite level) They are produced with these buildings, level 1 industrial complex, level 1 barracks, and level 2 infrastructure. What does everyone think about mortar units?

use any photo of mortars but these are the types I want

  1. Mortar type 1940
  2. Mortar type 1942
  3. Mortar type 1946
  4. Mortar type 1950
  5. Elite Mortar

Please use this

How would mortars, a short range indirect artillery unit, shoot down planes? That would be a one in a billion shot! :whistling:

yeah, that was kinda dumb, just thinkin'!

I'd love to see a mortar unit in the game but not sure how they'll be balanced. If they're in the infantry class, they'll be topped at around 25kph and most likely outclassed by artillery. I do imagine that there will be some use at the start of the game but afterwards, can't say much.

Their lack of range would make them a melee unit so just another infantry unit, which isn't really needed, unless it was a decent offensive value and next to no defensive value.

In this game mortars would simply be a weapon used by infantry units, not a whole group of a thousand soldiers each armed with a mortar tube.

Or many mortar tubes. I do believe they are really similar to artilleries and with the new unit updates. We can stick with the arties

Mortar was used at short ranges when you could see the enemy but couldn't attack and not use artillery support(forest,hills).
