I bet this hasn't been requested yet. How about an indirect fire weapon such as a 105mm howitzer that requires two or three servers. A mortar would be fun too because of the challenge of lobbing a shot just on target. When I was at Fort Lewis, Washington, we made the mortar shells go farther by adding more bags of powder to the fins of the shell. Mortar team duels would be fun because you could send spotters out to radio back the results of the explosions. In the meantime, snipers could be sent out to kill the spotters. Patrols could be sent out to whack the snipers...and so on. |

A 105mm howitzer would be cool as a anti-tank weapon/ anti- anything weapon. |

Requires two or three servers? Woe be the latency! I take it you mean "players" |

Why the heck would it take 3 people to fire a indirect howitzer? The mod is going for realism. Then Shouldn't the mortar require 2 people? I think both should be 1 person weapons. The mortar could be a deployable that gets spawned in maps on the bot paths, you can then grab it and plant it somewhere send up a drone of sorts (like the SPAMA's alt fire) to locate targets, then shell the crude out of the enemy. The howitzer should make you walk terrible show, large blast radius (larger then G5) and maybe a tad slower then the G5 with alt on is now. Now that is how is it should be. |

After Googling a Howitzer it looks like this thing should be in the Vehicles forum. Particulary since some modernised Howitzers come in vehicle form. [size=7px](SPMA)[/size] Unless you want us to pull that heavy trailer by foot. But it doesnt look like something one man could operate efficiently. The Mortar can be a deployable pickup for sure. Maybe have it swap with the Mine Layer like with the BX5 |

Oh yeah, i guess i was thinking of the howitzer that some mod made, which you could carry. Yeah deployable for sure, yeah have it for a the goo gun or minelayer replacer. |
