Hello PR!

Yesterday I played an Insurgency map as an Insurgent ofc and what came to my mind was how awesome it would be to make a command you know by pressing Q and then it would stand Allah'u Akbar. Its worth a laugh really. But then you have the little 12 year olds spamming the button so it cant be used for each 10 seconds or so.

Ok here is my second Suggestion. I didnt find it on the *** so I thought i would post it.

Image
INFO:The L16 81mm mortar provided in-direct fire support for British troops. High Explosive (HE), Smoke and Illumination rounds can be fired up to 5.5km out at a rate of 15 rounds-per-minute. The modernised L16a2 features GPS and laser-range finding systems, dramatically increasing the weapon's accuracy.
Who will Equip this?Mostly carried by Riflemans, Marksman and Officers.How much ammo depends on wich kit you have.
When will it be used? To take out long distance targets wich granadiers cant take out and to create distraction and confusion just before the infantry kicks in the door and starts shooting.
Is it worth is? Yes ofc.

First one has been suggested, and the insurgents do get mortars they can request a mortar strike - that is what the cell phone the collaborator has is for if i remember correctly.

I've always been for mortars in PR, but it would work like a weird grenade launcher. And it would take a couple rifles off the ground.

Yes Something like that just more accurate and stronger then the normal granade lunchers attached to the Rifle.

YouTube - ArmA L16 81mm Mortar Demonstration is a demonstration from Armed Assault i think how the mortars will work. But you dont place 10 of them in a row :P Just you deploy it onto the ground and start the process.
YouTube - Marines fire 81mm mortars in Afghanistan is a RL video.

Mortars been suggested bunch of times before, and those suggestions were shut down.
Wouldn't be too surprised if they showed up in the DEV diaries tho, think they were experimented with.

i suggested the allah ackbar scream like almost a year ago, and basically it got shot down because people thought it would be offensive to muslims or something. i still think thats a silly argument but the devs get the final word.

Welcome aboard. Both of these have been suggested before. Also, in the future, please make your thread titles descriptive of what your suggestion is. :)
