Mortars in Battlefield 1 need to be removed

I'm not gonna complain about being sniped or the over abundance of gas grenades. But the mortars need to stop. With the first two I at least have some control over not dying by them; it's my job to detect a sniper and avoid, and I can always put my gas mask on. But the mortars are just plain cheap and dumb. A good 1/3 of my deaths are due to them. You literally don't have a chance, you don't see them coming unless u survive the first one. "Alright sweet I just got to objective B and I'm behind some good cover now I'll..." *dead from mortar shot* Here's my solution as they maybe shouldn't be taken out completely...make the mortar a 'hero' pickup like the armored machine gunner or flamethrower. Edit: buff them if they were made an elite pickup. I feel this would be ok as they wouldn't be as prevalent It's ridiculous that they are accessible to anyone at any time (with the right class obviously)

  • I prefer mortars to guys sitting a mile out sniping and not even playing the objective

    Of my 1,ooo+ deaths, maybe 10 of them were from motar. Half of those were from indirect hits while I was lying on the ground trying to regain lost health. There is a distinct sound that let's you know a high arc projectile is inbound. Sound has been a BF strong point since Bad Company and BF1 has many many audio clues for you to listen for. Most ignore these. I actually herd a Squadmate complain that there should be a noise when someone bayonet charges you. People simply don't listen.

      Of my 1000+ deaths ive been killed by two mortars. Heres an idea. When you hear mortars dropping, move, because the guy can now see where you are If anything they need to remove the camera and just stick with the map

      Mortars almost never get kills for me, hell, I often get "Enemy Hit 115" for using one. You have summoned me.

      • I still think the Behemoths are a lot worse. They're basically the same as Mortars, but with way more damage, and 1000x harder to kill. Saw some asshole go 80-10 in Operations using the Dreadnaught. His team still lost, but dafuq? He's just getting tons of free kills for zero work. You don't earn a Behemoth, you just use it to farm enough kills to stage a comeback instead of, you know, actually playing better. -blam!-ing DICE, man.

            I disagree. Mortars are pretty hard to use. You have to make a guess where exactly people are, you only have like 4 shots which don't usually kill infantry in one shot, you have to lead your shot ALOT when you do actually see someone, etc. Ive never had a huge problem with mortars

          • I haven't had any problems with running int ok too many mortars. And their not as easy to use as you think, it's not a guaranteed one hit kill. I think the easy ass sniping is still the biggest problem in the game. Or even the OP vehicles.

          • What game mode were you playing? I've seen a lot of complaints regarding the mortar but personally I don't get killed that often with it.

          • No they are good. It counter sniping and camping. And simply removing them will make the game less Fun and boring. WW1 is suppose to be intense and deadly every single time like it was in real life.

          • They were the same way at launch in BF4. They just need to nerf them a little and beef up the support weapons so people want to use the weapons not the mortars

            • Maybe don't camp? Or if you're going to hold a position make it somewhere with cover. Try using the mortar, it's actually kinda difficult to hit with. Plus gas is a million times more annoying than the mortar.....in my opinion.

              • I've been a mortar magnet since the -blam!-ing arty in Bf2 so I expect full well to get killed randomly 20 times a round. ENEMY ARTY IN YOUR AREA. DEAD LOL.

              • Gotta disagree with you. Maybe you just are real unlucky when it comes to the Mortars. I barely ever get killed or even hit by one. My friend uses it and gets a few kills here and there, but I personally struggle to get a single kill with it. It would be a very underwhelming Elite pickup. But I get it, you get pissed off if you die by the same thing a lot. That's me with the bomber planes, they always seem attracted to me.
