Styker Mortar Carrier

I feel the new mortar setup is a step in the right direction for the mod. The crew mortar in T2 allows me to get a mortar without spending my precious fuel and the Styker mortar carrier is just awesome, I feel it has really given the US an option for dealing PLA players who are choosing to dig in the late game and is a great counter to PLA mortars, machine gun, At guns and dreaded PF launchers. Its range and damage are pretty good and may need some tuning but overall I really like the addition of it in the game.

Thanks, that's exactly what were hoping to achieve (we also reorganised the PLA MLRS units). It's always nice to receive positive feedback. :D

We felt that a heavy 120mm mortar unit (coupled with the 60mm crew-served team) would provide improved non-doctrinal artillery capability without compromising the Paladin or propagating 'artillery wars'. Not to mention that people have been asking for it/them ever since release, and the setup was a more realistic alternative to the old M1064.
