Whats the difference

[Tobias]

me thinks the MAX's might get some kinda mortor. Other then them though its the Thumper for you.

[m0rphiu5]

no way is a thumper worthy of being classified even remotely similar to a mortar, i want a full tri-pod mounted mortar, maybe with a firing animation of the person leaning up putting in the shell and standing back, this would also make it more fair in game, a mortar installation misplaced in the field would result in the position being over-run by a task small squad and possibly turned against the original owners troops

oh it would be sweet

[Hamma]

I dont think there is mortar/artillery.

That Vanguard tank is quite a beast however

[Tobias]

who needs a mortor anywho when you can shell them with the vanguard. Get like 12 of them and give a base hell!

I'm anxious to see what the heavy tanks look like.

Maybe the Vanu tank on thier website is a heavy, it looks pretty tough as well.

[m0rphiu5]

yeah i spose, but it would be cool to see, a tree man mortar squad is much easier to make dissapear in a forrest at night, but a tank? i dont think so.... hamma is probably right, no mortar, such a shame

[Doobz]

yeah, thats one of the things i was really wishing to see, was long range, indirect artillery fire.
that would add an entirely new level of strategy.
the commanders could order an artillery barrage on position x.
the commander would already have scouts in position so they could walk it up for more accurate fire, and bring the fire on more precise targets (of course, a way of pointing the guns in the general direction could be devised)
while this is happening the commander orders 2 squads into galaxies, and starts 2 vanguards and lightnings in for mobile, heavy gun support.
as the scout spots the friendly forces, he calls for the arty to cease fire, and then the assaulting force begins a lightning quick assault to wrap it up.
