One small way a part of this glitch could be fixed would be to make the US 60mm mortars "mortars" instead of "light infantry mortars " . As I understand this problem Infantry Mortars need to be adjusted by the platoon or company leaders , occasionally they could adjusted , depending on commo links from the AO to the effected Platoon or Company "O" unit being active, by FO's and the AO units . The Problems with my solution however is that then the US 60mm Mortars would have smoke , which they did in fact have ,( even had WP ammo) , but Japanese , German and Russian infantry mortars didn't have smoke ( or WP), so it wouldn't be fair to the Japanese , Germans and Russians for the US 60 mm mortrs to have smoke in the game ( after all it is just a game) even though they had it in real life. Likewise it would allow US 60mm Mortars to be reliably shifted by FO's and "A0" units , which with the US communication was a real posibility , the German and Japanese and Russians didnt really have that kind of commo in WW2( unless it is landline in a static situation) and it wouldn't be realistic for them to be able to shift thier infantry mortars with FO's and "A0" units .. so it wouldn't be fair ..Fair is important here US Platoons had the portable radios and training to call arty and recieve calls for Platoon assets from FO's and "A0" units, Japanese , German, and Russian didn't , but to be fair thier Platoons can of course call arty ( and sometimes recieve calls ) so that the game is fair and balanced. btw WP can be easily made in the game by taking the duplicate 60mm Mortar and making it a WP only 4.2 mortar and just changing the weapon type to napalm , and leaving the HE kill the same as a regular 4.2, Like wise it is an easy fix to get the 60mm US mortars to have smoke simply by reclassing them to "mortars " like i mentioned above. I know , I know it would not be fair to give the US weapons they really had when other better, more Profesional, more deserving Armies from other Countries didn't have them , But what the heck I thought I would mention it .
