Mortars - serious suggestions

[JoeBandit 14]

Hey all,

 

I know it's not a new topic and admins might already be well aware and working on a change but mortar spam is really affecting me and my friends enjoyment of the server. When multiple people sit with a mortar and ammo truck and spam every gun store and territory, it is not fun at all because we get blown up almost inevitably and there's a lot of places they could be hiding.

 

I would like to suggest the following simple changes, as have been suggested by others lately. Either change or both together would be effective at preventing mortar spam while not stopping the mortars from being some use.

1. Prevent mortars from rearming at ammo trucks.
2. Limit range to short.

I agree.

Its one thing to be shot at by a heli or a plane that won't leave the area around a gun store or territory, but mortars on top of that is too much. 

I don't want to take away from the game and this wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't happening so frequently.

Yes I've read the recent threads and noted they were in the discussion forum rather than suggestions and possibly not getting attention from people who can make changes for that reason so created this one containing the two suggestions I feel are not going to nerf mortars into the ground but rather reduce the potential for what is almost an exploit (infinite rearming an AoE weapon that can hit the entire map for no cost).

I've said it before and ill say it again..... if you stay clear from the gun stores then you won't show up on their map and they'll soon get bored of it.

It take something like 25 seconds for the mortar to hit so if you run in and run out they won't get you.
