I found that the in-squad 50mm mortar provided to SNFL squads and * suqad is for too much accurate. At 6 hex the first shot is usually with a 60% hit probability, really high for a lobbed weapon. And that became even worst with the elite SNFL troups and there FD of 4. It would be quite logical that it is easy to lob a shell on a 50meter square 300 meters away but even on a small target like a sniper, or a moving light tank the % is still really high from first shoot on . In fact it is really really more accurate to shoot light tank than the AT rifle. Something that looks quite wrong to me. I know that his pesky 13mm penetration will not be a big deal when I will be facing heavy armored british or US troups. But the capability to blow on the first shoot any light tank or APC seems a bit too much. Can someone else have a look at this for version 5.02 ? P.S. Sven please no funny comment, it just tend to make thread less readable. [ June 16, 2001: Message edited by: Ivan GREYWOLF Kerensky ]
