Mortar Infantry

[Kronic531]

Mortar Infantry
Cost: 6000
Vision: 2 (+3 on mountains)
Rations: 70
Range: 2-3 with mortar, 1 with machine gun
Move: 2
Movement type: Mech

Weapon 1: Machine gun (80% as powerful as normal Infantry)
Weapon 2: Mortar (As powerful as a Mech units rocket launcher)

Mortar Infantry would best be used in mountains near choke points or to hinder an enemy convoy. Use in Mountains would force the enemy to use Infantry or other indirect units to attack them, so the Mortar Infantry would best be accompanied by Infantry or Mech units. Mortar Infantry act as both Indirect and direct combat units. If a Mortar Infantry unit moves it still has the option of using its machine gun, if the Mortar Infantry unit remains in place it has the option of using its Mortar.

Mortar Infantry can capture factories, cities, etc. but only at 80% efficiency as a full health Infantry unit.

I would use this over a tank because...

Now, that's a good idea. Some new indirect dude... yeah.

So Mortar Infantry are basically Arttilery.

The attacks are not very powerful. How many ranged ammo?

i like the idea of ure mortar untis but make them 4,500 funds with 6k funds no one would try to build them because the arty is better chose except of these but i really like the mortar effect would be cool to have them ingame that would really change the way u usally played a map. MAN I REALYL LIKE IT AS A GRIT FAN TOO HAHAHA

+1 SUPPORT !!! hope this unit gets involved ingame. does it have the same range like arty ? and hey add some ammo info ;P. 3 shots would be less but acceptable i mean those arent walking dreadnaugts or something to carry that much of shells i guess 3 ammo would be fine ^^

[Super pen]

Yes, I too like the idea of 4,500 funds. I'd also like to recommend that you give them +1 repairs just to make the idea more palatable.

It's more about the fact it's a necrobump. Somewhat of an unwritten rule regarding all online forums where a thread has died long ago (as in years).
