Howitzer
please can we have some Howitzers that you can roll into the battle area perhaps a small truck can tow them.

@mickey921 Mortars maybe but Howitzers? I know this is not a mil-sim, but the minimum range of a Howitzer would exceed any map size unless you are shooting nerf ammunition.
Doubt you'll see anything like this from Dice Sweden in Battlefield again. They've been pretty committed to turning the franchise into an instant gratification ego shooter despite how poorly it has turned out for them the past couple of games.
@AdamonicWe also had Siege Howitzer in BF1. It brought nothing but frustration from getting killed by shells landing from the sky.
Someone might argue it brought "immersion", which might work for a WW1 game. But for a game set in the future, it won't do any good.Then BF5 artillery strike squad call in. Overpowered, frustrating to go against, screen shaking thing that added no real value to the gameplay
- @UP_LordPlumber Yeah, I am not a fan of any indirect fire without a counter.

In Battlefield 3 you could only see where the rounds land on the minimap and you had to manually zero in with each shot, you didn't get to see directly where they landed. In 1942 and Vietnam, you needed a spotter to spot a location with binoculars to give you a view of the area and you had to manually zero in with each shot. It made artillery challenging but rewarding to use.
- @Adamonic Not really. We routinely practiced direct fire with our guns. Also, the minimum range (at least of our howitzers) is only 4 kilometers. That being said, it's already a campfest. We really don't need more reason to do so.
