how many ammunition it will have? How it will be re-armed?

Sorry if someone already responded this question, but i didn't found it...

I think they have 12 rounds? I couldn't find, but one of the DEV's said earlier.

They have 12 rounds shared between HE, HE airburst and Smoke, meaning if you fire a smoke round you now have 11 rounds HE. Put out another 4 HEs and you now have 7 smokes and so on. They are linked.

Also, as you can see from the video they are firing out to almost a kilometer and I presume the max range is noteably more. You won't need to be anywhere near the enemy base

But, as far as I know the bases have an invisible bubble over them anyway (though I don't know does this apply on all maps), so the rounds should go off long before they are close enough to do any harm.

You can only maglink a weapon to one other slot in bf2.

The High Explosive Impact and Airburst will be maglinked (The type of round being used in game IRL have a fuse which allows you to easily change the detonation type of the round on the spot).

The smoke rounds will have a separate stock.

I really like this addition. It requires a very high level of teamwork, one. And two, it will give the defending squad a very important task. How many times have you sat with your squad on an objective defending it against no attackers while the rest of the team gets to slug it out at forward objectives? Now the defending squad will be a real part of the action.

Give us at least two of these to deploy per team.

i wonder if you can build more than 1 at the FOB, i can see it now if its only 1

gunner: away

boom, miss

spotter: move to the left

gunner: away

10 seconds into the next shell on the way

spotter: targets have bugged out

boom, miss

well the firefights in PR are lasting often at least longer than a few seconds
if the mortar gunner does his job well he can be a real enrichment for the team.
imagine theres a cache in a compound, a little mortar strike before the charge could do miracles

I'm afraid of this new addtion:

Because it could possibly lead to the contrary:
Some "defence" squad builds a fob with mortar. To grant most security possible for the mortar team, they put it somewhere in A1/H8, or whatever, but NOT in a good position for the rest of the team who still want to spawn at a firebase which gives them cover and reduces the distance to the next objective.

I already hate such SQLs, who only build a firebase just to have one, nevermind WHERE....
.....

i know what im doing on the ins team on al basrah now

grab the ardy ied kit an ammo tec and go trow down 4 ardy ieds along that east west southern road wait for the supper fob to be built there ( like it is ever game) and get all the kills, cuz you all know how much nubs love building a fob there now with it having best coverage of the city yea

Plus, what do you guys think Air Bursts are for?

Wide area splash damage and surpression.

You got that boom boom thang that makes my body bang

This is for everyone who does not know what each round does.

In that video, Bosco places both the request and shoots it, he got a ninja twin or summit?

Unless the super buggies from SGT.MARCO's video are spawning on lashkar now. They're not very realistic ya know devs.

The jet engine-powered DPV was for testing purposes only.

See the flag under my name?
I totally wasn't serious

This looks like the justification for a map update, as proposed previously somewhere elsewhere on the forums, to include contours and a scaled grid system...

I never said anything about using 3D markers

I'm Malamute2345 and this is my favorite update on the citidal xD

I'm sorry but that bugy and the fact that its some sort of jet who rushes the mortar round to its target cracked me up real bad
