Truly sad really. The game is designed by someone making claims like this?
The Germans dropped manufacture of the 50mm due to short range and high cost. Not because it was just so darn pin-point accurate.
The quality of discussion, along with the realism of the game, is in a nose dive. But, on a brighter note, Steve is out and about and making inane claims. That might mean more product will be released to the masses!
I suppose it would just be too hard to redesign the Italian 45mm to be realistic? There is no way this stubby piece of junk was accurate. It was accurate because WWI mortars were accurate? Since when were WWI mortars accurate?Yes, a mortar really has to be one or the other. Either it caters to putting a round smack onto a specific target or it is designed to suppress within a useful radius. Perhaps in WW1 trench warfare precision was more important and that's perhaps where the design of the German and Italian mortars came from. But it seems when the enemy is fairly mobile it is a less useful approach than one focused on suppression.
The Germans dropped their 5cm mortar fairly quickly for a reason.
