P!nky's MORTAR GUIDE

by **PinkRabbit** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 20:32

THIS IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION

First some notes U'll better look at before U use the mortar weapon.

Don't splash damage to spawn, get a little distance, else it is and will be seen as SK!
Don't set ur mortar up at ur own spawn, get a little distance from it, else it is seen as SC!
Donâ€™t push your teammates, for example; when they are sniping, mortaring, using a mg.
For the complete rules, check http://www.prime-squadron.com/modules/rulebook/

U get the most kills with mortar if u spam ur enemy with mortar shells, so it would be handy to have an "ammo slave"

Ask a friend or a field ops in ur team to provide u with ammo, or just if he spawns to get ur ammo full.

Handing out ammopacks to a soldier with a dispatched mortar (in use) as a Field Ops is allowed and is NOT considered as farming.

Now lets begin with the real work

All of this below is from my own experience true playing ET with the mortar.
For me the best tactic is to find a place in all the maps were u know where ur mortar will fall,
so u don't need to fire +-3 test mortar shells to see where it falls and have the chance to do a multi TK :/
I search for spots were u can't miss if u're at the spot or not, like corners.
I remind that spot and then I try to aim, when I found the best aim path, I stand up and remember where my crosshair is at.

Here are the perfect spots that I already found

Goldrush - allied

Before we got the tank repaired:
I think the best spot is to aim here (see pic)

to get to this point, U sit here (see pic)

Then u aim here (see pic)

And the effect:

After we've stolen the tank:
First spawn exit:
u settle urself here:

then u aim 1cm under the corner of the lamp befor U (see pic)

the effect:
http://www.abload.de/img/2.27a4.jpg

Second spawn exit:
same spot, see above
now we aim at this spot (see pic)

effect:
http://www.abload.de/img/2.4y5w.jpg (check my spree and kills

)

When ur team is at the bank and when the ammo and health packs are save to camp at:
at this part u can keep camping at the place from "After we've stolen the tank" but this place will provide u infinitive ammo so u don't need an ammo slave anymore
u sit in this corner and to the ammo packs (see pic)

now we aim at this spot (see pic)

effect:

***HINTS***
ENEMY FIRE
When u got up, U need to change ur gun and then U can finally try tokill ur opponent but U will probably be dead already
so when I see an enemy comming to kill me, I hit selfkill...

Selfkill is NOT allowed nor appreciated when you are in battle (i.e. shooting/firing at your opponent).
Selfkill is only allowed when you are not in battle, for example; because you are out of ammo and/or your team is ready to re-spawn.

I don't know if this is against the rules, this is for an admin to judge... (if an admin would share their opinion?)

OTHER HINTS ARE WELCOME

I'll try to finish this guide for all costum maps in this summer!!!
Mabey then I'll start with most played costum maps

THIS IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Can this become a sticky one?

just got the rest of the screenys for goldrush allied but I'll add them tomorrow, then goldrush will be finished and I'll start to work on the axis side, oasis and minas (gr8 map for mortar 2)
and I'll try to resise the screens + mabey replace then with a claener version of my hud

@Ch3atBu5ter
It is supposed to help the ones who don't know how to work with the mortar, also why it is in ET helpdesk..
And so I won't have to think what a freakin' mortar $$$$$$ do we have here

by **RiCkY** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 21:05

the first spawn as you shown in first pic is always spawn dont go there with mortar it is still sc!

by **Ajit** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 22:06

pinky 1st picture is sc

by **Ninjadeer** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 23:00

oh yeah, now you failed

by **PinkRabbit** » Fri Aug 08, 2008 0:52

thnx for the great FAIL comments, don't see u trying to make a good mortar guide and putting ur time in it

and I'll show the position where u stand at the first stage @ goldrush, then u can judge if it is SC
(and btw u see a spawned player at the first pic, the spawn goes to 2m before the three)

by **Ammz** » Fri Aug 08, 2008 2:14

Ya, agree it's a little spawncamp the first picture. But that doesn't matter.

You gotta appreciate the time Rabbit is putting in this guid, you don't wanna be a pro with motar? No, then leave this topic, you have no use here then. Appreciate the time Rabbit spends on taking screenies, uploading them, writing this great guid.

It's a good guid Rabbit, I learned something too

though I don't use motar much, only when I'm to lazy to use WASD :b...

Keep up the good work :good:

even when we criticize you a little bit hard that that one was maybe wrong it should only be to help you with improving the guide and to show you that we want to help. i hope the others agree me with that. and the guide is already really nice.( a little idea what you maybe can include: when a field ops do arty and the mortar is good positioned then you can see a marker in mortar to mortar there) and maybe you can come on ps3 and alert me when goldrush is running then you can show me where do you thing sp ends(and i can maybe show you some nice mortar spots too)

by **Ninjadeer** » Fri Aug 08, 2008 10:56

yep, nice guide. you should also try shoot from ammo&medpack place (hope you understand what i mean

)near axis spawn there you dont need field ops. it is maybe bit risky, btu sometimes it works perfectly.

are you going to increase this guide to other maps too? it could be nice, because goldrush is only where i know good spots to frag...

by **PinkRabbit** » Fri Aug 08, 2008 18:47

yea, thnx for the repley, was a bit pissed yesterday cause it is not for my I'm putting this guide here but for u guys

@P!nkD33r
see the "When ur team is at the bank and when the ammo and health packs are save to camp at" :wink:

by **Cunego** » Fri Aug 08, 2008 21:40

A bit offtopic:

Pink, @ screens I see that when someone was killed you see:

ABC [Animated MP40] XYZ

I really would have the same, becuz I see:

ABC was killed by XYZ's MP40.

Do you know the settings for that ?

Thanks!

Cunego.

by **mephir** » Fri Aug 08, 2008 23:11

@Cunego:
Thats an option in NQ-Settings. Just hit [ESC] and goto "NoQuarter". I dont exactly know the name or where it is (cause i like the text better), but i think you'll find it...

@Pink:
Nice Guide, lookin forward for some other spots....
But on the other hand... i dont like my enemies to know these spots too.

Im always getting quite annoyed, if someone "camps" in secure place and i cant even get out of spawn cause of mortar "spamming". :roll:

And selfkill if you see an enemy is imho cowardly (hope, thats the right word

).
Just change your weapon to Cold/Luger or maybe MP40/Thompson and die like a man in honor. :twisted:

Often i even manage it to kill them, cause they dont expect any reaction...
