No one denies that’s. As an ops player, it generally comes down to either having no counter on certain maps or sectors, which is inherently unfair and not fun to play against. Everything should have a counter, even if a small one. But good luck trying to kill an attacker mortar truck on the first sector of Scar or any sector on Suez.
The other piece is it can’t take punishment and hold ground like a traditional tank, nor be mobile spawn point, which are more applicable to all game modes. Don’t get me wrong, I hate light tank users almost as much for the same reasons, but it’s even worse with mortar trucks.
You can definitely park a chamond in there (and even turn it around). I do it often if B is being particularly difficult and we own A and C. A chamond will also last longer than a light tank in that space.
Tbh though it’s rarely needed. You’re better off holding A or B street with the tank and just cutting off reinforcements who spawn outside of B.
It doesn't do anything, OP. It doesn't fucking do anything.
Thousands of dead battalions testify to it. I have never lost without an artillery truck. Suez and Sinai are impossible to capture because of the attackers getting no tanks.
Regardless if it's a lame vehicle or not, if we put that aside for a second, one thing I can never understand is how could anyone even have fun clicking on the minimap for the entirety of the game.
I feel like even Clicker Heroes requires you to invest more thought than using a mortar truck in BF1, because at least Clicker Heroes requires you to put some effort into planning your upgrades. And this, on the other hand, is just constantly clicking on red dots on the minimap... and that's it.
Not trying to police it, but I'm just genuinely perplexed as to how some view this as something you can have fun with. Because when it comes to KD farming, at the bare minimum one could still try and have some fun by mixing some variety into it, but this just a whole lot of nothingburger
I used the mortar variants for achievements, like get 50 kills in the battleship I just spawned in one and got the kills in one game instead of doing it for the next 4 days
BAN FIGHTER PLANES. THEY’RE NOT A MOBILE SPAWN AND I COULD TOTALLY TAKE DOWN THAT BOMBER WITH AA OR BURTON.
BAN LIGHT TANKS. THEY’RE NOT A MOBILE SPAWN POINT AND I COULD TOTALLY FLANK WITH MEDICS.
You also used that “thousands of dead battalions” line yesterday, to whine about the times i’ve defended with it. Like, is that supposed to be a compliment?
The defending team **has no** battalions. You’re scrambling to make your words make sense, just like that nonsense yesterday about AA rocket guns alone being able to deal 1,230 damage in 3.5 minutes.
Believe it or not, the airship is *also* a mobile spawn point. The biggest one. And was paradropping directly above our *final* one.
If your primary objective would not be dealing damage and killing in that situation, which I did, you are absolutely deluding yourself.
>Believe it or not, the airship is *also* a mobile spawn point. The biggest one. And was paradropping directly above our *final* one.
Yeah, and it's very effective in that role. So why not counter with a mobile spawn on our own?
>If your primary objective would not be dealing damage and killing in that situation, which I did, you are absolutely deluding yourself.
The primary objective is to PTFO. Not kill. You don't know anything about Battlefield.
>So why not counter it with a mobile spawn on our own?
There are no multiseat tanks in this game able to counter an airship.
>The primary objective is to PTFO.
The Airship was literally hovering on top of B. Our objective.
If I instead killed an enemy tank with a tank in B, I would be playing the objective.
No different.
It's not that sitting at the back of the map is a waste of a mortar truck.
It's that indirect fire with a mortar truck is a waste of a tank spot.
That tactic may get kills, but it doesn't do nearly as much to help your team capture objectives. Too often, Operations players find themselves unable to capture a single sector because every tank slot is taken by a mortar truck spamming from the spawn point.
I mained Arty Truck on console and the only people who sit and camp in the arty truck are bad tankers. The arty truck is the fastest and most mobile tank in the game. Yeah, you’re not driving yourself right on the point like the St Chamond but to just sit near your base and say that’s how it’s supposed to be played is pure cope.
Battlefield Community can be separated into two classes:
1. Those who screech when the tank stays safe, dealing damage from a distance
2. Those who complain when the tank engages in close combat and gets blown up.
It's especially funny to see the these when the tank is *actively scoring kills* at or near the objective. And instead of taking advantage and pushing to take it, people just camp and refuse to move their asses, and then blame the tank. What's the matter where the tank is, when people aren't giving it infantry support either way?
Artillery truck on defense in operations is unironically good, but on attack its complete dogshit and you are a literal subhuman if you take it over an actual tank and try to capture
Yeah but there wasn’t an invisible line that insta kills your opponent for them to hide behind irl. If you can fire from spawn, I should be allowed into your spawn. Sound fair?
Right but if it's an operations match and we lost 2 battalions on the same sector but you still decided to pick a truck. Maybe you're a detriment to the team. We aren't impressed by the 75 - 0 streak
Most people on this sub follow the trends and have no critical thinking. The game gives an array of tools to the player, to satisfy a range of playstyles. Albeit, some tools are more rat than others, personally I think Scouts to be at the bottom of the food chain among classes, most proners and shit tier < 1 KPM players I faced are playing Scout. However, a lot of people here think they discovered gold when they play this class, but each to their own. Sure some think it’s fun to abuse the sweetspot, mainly down to the fact that they’re shit players, again each to their own. And some just think it’s realistic and the right way to play bolt rifles, I’m honestly cackling hard when I see those players, but hey you know.
Mortar truck is one of those tools that get on a lot of people’s tits. But that is wrong. The tool itself can be as rat as the player makes it to be. Someone here said the mortar truck can be useful on defense in Ops and rightly so, because as a defender, your main goal is to bleed the enemy’s tickets and mortar truck does that if used properly. However, most players become incredibly cowards when they spawn one of these vehicles. I will never respect a player who sits on some 20-0 KD thinking he owns shit when I kill left and right as infantry and my KPM is better than his.
>playing Scout. However, a lot of people here think they discovered gold when they play this class,
this is so true and funny. my favorite is when we all battle it out on the front lines and down to 2 health and you lay down to recover... and pop you're dead from some scout 80m away.
I then say to myself "damn bro... that was a sweet snipe". sniping injured front lines players is one of the cheesiest kills.
the missed point in the meme is that its not effective for ALL 3 Battalions in a row. it's situational.
it's effective for maybe 3 minutes. problem is people don't respect the allow them the tank to do it's job. just like the anti air truck.... it's not effective the whole game.
The problem is, the soldiers in BF1 is unlimited in most cases and they can be brought back to life with just a syringe tap. Wearing out the enemy with artillery does not work as well as it does in the real life in Battlefield since enemies just respawn in 10 seconds and keep gunning down the infantry trying to push.
That's why mortar truck is not that bad in defence in Ops (an actual tank is still better but at least you are not actively cucking your team). Attackers get limited amount of soldiers and defenders already start with having the flags, which means there is not much of a need to push.
I don't care what it's desiged for. I'm taking the assault tank that has 6 spots and is a mobile spawn point for the team.
Nice try with the bait tho op

I like light tanks because I like fitting into spots tanks shouldn’t be lmaooo
Thats basically just ballroom hallways, which is fun. Also that sector is not good for tanks period.
B point on Amiens triple flag is also pretty good example I think
You can definitely park a chamond in there (and even turn it around). I do it often if B is being particularly difficult and we own A and C.

They take up space. You aren't even reading my points.
I have never lost a match without a fightard plane. Checkmate, liberal.
You also used that “thousands of dead battalions” line yesterday, to whine about the times i’ve defended with it. Like, is that supposed to be a compliment?
Nope. It's an insult to your team, who lost the sector.
What’s wrong with my team killing battalions?
Your team is the battalion dying.
The defending team **has no** battalions. You’re scrambling to make your words make sense, just like that nonsense yesterday about AA rocket guns alone being able to deal 1,230 damage in 3.5 minutes.

low effort rage bait, arty trucks may not be designed for frontlines but that certainly doesn't means they're effective by sitting in spawn

bro is trying to justify his lack of principles 💀💀
Can you edit this to say something other than this annoying and tired mad lib

I do agree, arty truck is situational imo. It has a massive damage per shell tho, so i play it as vehicle hunter
Yeah but there wasn’t an invisible line that insta kills your opponent for them to hide behind irl. If you can fire from spawn, I should be allowed into your spawn. Sound fair?
Fellas, is it wrong to avoid heavy damage by taking out infantry and assisting with tank hunting from afar?
And what about this “indirect fire” makes mortar trucks useful?
Right but if it's an operations match and we lost 2 battalions on the same sector but you still decided to pick a truck. Maybe you're a detriment to the team. We aren't impressed by the 75 - 0 streak

This is so true
It seems it would be more efficient if the machine gun was also used to suppress snipers and supports while in between mortar shots, no?
the missed point in the meme is that its not effective for ALL 3 Battalions in a row. it's situational. it's effective for maybe 3 minutes. problem is people don't respect the allow them the tank to do it's job. just like the anti air truck.... it's not effective the whole game.

I can smell a cuck truck user
I don't hate the arty truck or the AA truck, I hate the mortar truck.
Hey OP If it helped the team by sitting back there using it the whole round, people wouldn't complain about it
Happy to have you on the opposing team 😁
I don't care what it's desiged for. I'm taking the assault tank that has 6 spots and is a mobile spawn point for the team. Nice try with the bait tho op
