Mortars
Summary: Adds a portable mortar that can be wrenched to floors, fires expensive shells. Should act like a long range SADAR but it indicates when it will fire and won't be blocked by objects.
Benefits: I'm imagining it will give engineers more stuff to do and also maybe increase marine win rate which is drastically low.
Details: Add a single portable mortar to each squad's engineer room. It should function like a grenade launcher mixed with a stationary smartgun, with a long range. The mortar will mark a spot with a red dot similar to an SL's binoculars. It can be loaded with incendiary, regular, or large radius smoke shells. There should be a few shells in each engineering room and more can be ordered by requisitions. I'm imagining the regular explosives should be the size of a SADAR rocket and have a similar effect, and incendiary should be a bit larger than a regular incendiary grenade.
Implementation: Watch The Emoji Movie in theaters July 28.

Yes, it really is. The search engine on this forum is fucking awful. Besides, it's not like all these suggestions are all the same, there are unique aspects to every one of them.MrJJJ wrote:Is it really that hard to type in "mortar" and spend 2 minutes reading up and finding threads such as these?

Re: Mortars
So...you are essentially saying you aren't bothering to do research because you are don't like the search engine, which is not a excuse, and all of those still have the same goal "Add a Mortar"SpecialAgentOrange wrote:Yes, it really is.

I'm not required to look up all previous suggestions with the word mortar in them. And no, it's not the same goal, it's the same principle. There are different ideas, if it was the same goal it'd be all literally the same suggestion with the exact specifics of it.

1. Yes you are required, its quite literally in the rules to not make duplicate suggestionsSpecialAgentOrange wrote:I'm not a baldie you dumbfuck I've been playing since CM got 3 players on a Tuesday night.

2. You are still asking for a new gun essentially, which from what you described, sounds what we already have in forms of PO fire missions, where SL's binoculars are used to indicate a spot where the dropship will go on a fire mission to bombard.
3. Nobody cares how long you been here and since when you started playing, insulting people and lacking common sense is a very hilarious reason to get banned for.

Re: Mortars
make a thread suggesting letting grenade launchers shoot farther, you get your long range booms without suggesting a new gun

Re: Mortars
You guys are misinterpreting the no gun rule, I'm sure it applies to no more suggestions for guns like the M41A or SMG, and not for more unique ideas like this.El Defaultio wrote:Against the suggestion rules, been suggested many many times before. Asking this to be locked.
