I also agree that the Soviet mortar when up-graded is a bit oped. I don’t use them for the same reason I don’t use the Soviet AT gun, They are easily de-crewed and the Soviets cant re-crew them. Although I would hate to see them over nerfed. A munitions and fuel cost increase at the armory might be the answer instead of weakening the unit itself.
BTW, if hes spending resources on a mid game mortar then hes not going to have alot to protect it.
Some games I played against Soviet players that used the upgraded mortar I got them with sniper and nebs and another time with cloaked storms. Since the Soviets can’t re-crew them it’s a total loss.
To me, the Soviet mortar (when I’m playing against the Soviets) is just like the pak (when im playing against Wehr). I make it my top priority to kill that dirty little evil thing, lol.
