But it doesn't even do that very well. Smoke grenades and smoke grenade launchers far outclass this. As for no one wanting massive splash damage etc.? There is no damage. Level up and give this a try, then come back and defend the worthiness of this gadget. I gave some pretty good suggestions. And I can guarantee that no one is complaining about how broken this gadget is for causing damage. It is worthless. The way it should work would be similar to how artillery strikes worked in BF2. I know that artillery strikes are supposed be far more devastating than some mortars, but the arty in BF2 was very tiny compared to what and arty strike is supposed to be. And if you played BF2 you know you could survive the arty strike as it was then. The delay in getting it was very long, and your targets can simply leave the area for about 10 seconds and then go right back. Give the mortars some multiuse and try some of the other things. EMP, Colored smoke (RBGY - please), flares on night maps etc. I recall seeing those flares at night while a Marine. It was nothing short of magical.
