Mortars have ruined breakthrough

Question

Please do not give a specific class this piece of equipment.&nbsp; Players abuse the hell out it.&nbsp; It's annoying as hell and most people with average and above gun skill does not usually use them but there are so many bad players that's all they do from the time they turn the game on until they are done with the game for the day.&nbsp; Many of us players that use their actual primary weapon more than explosives to start an engagement are tired of this item.&nbsp; Many years ago when I was new to battlefield games my skill level was below average and so for me to level faster I would revive and supply health bags or I would supply ammo as support back in the day.&nbsp; Now you have given them this piece of equipment it has driven many people away from this game and on to different games.&nbsp; I will not be purchasing anymore battlefield games in the future if this is the route your going to take.&nbsp; Can't even play breakthrough anymore it is ruined game type now.&nbsp; Breakthrough was all I played.&nbsp; The love for this game is fading and I know many players that feel the same way.

I have to agree that in their current state it is a major detriment to breakthrough. You have two groups of players using them now, those who have given up, and those who want to stat pad.

For those who have given up, instead of going sniper, the go mortar in their base. For those who want to stat pad, they do the same thing.

In both cases, they go towards the back of their base behind something, buildings, terrain, etc, where the other team doesn't have line of sight on them. They are essentially invulnerable as you can't attack them from neutral territory, are far enough back that you die to the out of bounds timer before reaching them, and similarly the recon drone can't reach them to destroy the mortar, although even that doesn't matter as they'll simply place another.

The only way to reach them would be with aircraft, but in breakthrough the defenders never have aircraft, and the attackers only have them in a couple maps.

The just yesterday I had a match where 5 out of 24 people on one side, and 4 out of 24 on the other was playing mortar in base. That's almost 20% of both teams combined on mortars, and that isn't really far from the norm in my experience. It is really killing the enjoyment of the mode.
