Artillery

[Kelen]

I noticed from random posts here and there from blitz and battlefront forums, that unless there are trenches present people only take mortars (by example) to counter the odd AT gun? Im new so i might of got this wrong as well.

Don't know about other players but i always take along a few mortars, (normally 60mm or 81mm.

Yes I use them for taking out those pesky AT guns, but I also use them for knocking out light buildings, (probably the only use for the British 50mm), and even though they've only got a few rounds, I find their abilty to blind armour, (particularly large German SP guns), a life saver on many occassion. Drop a couple of smoke rounds just in front of them and race your armour round the side for a flank shot. As SP's don't have turrets, their limited gun traverse and slow reaction time normally means that they can't turn quick enough to fire back or present their heavy frontal armour.
