Mortars
Mortars are becoming a pain with unrelenting fire. But as most people know it is so unrealistic and impossible to fire a mortar continuously. Every other weapon in the game that has unlimited ammo eg...
IMO to make mortars less of a pain on both sides, they should overheat like LMGs do. Realistically the mortar tube gets hot after so many rounds (see movie "We were soldiers" where they pee on them to cool them off). If the support player can just spam rounds without consequence we get what we have. Add in a cool down period and fire is less oppressive and does not shut down a given area. Even multiple mortars would be less painful to play against if it stays how it is being able to rain shells from spawn and immune to countering except by another mortar.
Either go back to preventing them from deploying in spawn (mainly so drones can take them out) or add in a cool down or overheat mechanic.
