Template:Mortar Usage

Usage: Expand

Anyone with a Trained level of engineering (Level 1 in engineering) can deploy and use the Mortar. Recruit a squad member to be your spotter and make sure they have tactical binoculars. Send your newly recruited spotter to ascertain coordinates of enemy positions. Once in your active hand click on the binoculars then Ctrl Click an enemy position and wait, once the binoculars beep you'll be given coordinates in chat. Upon receiving the longitude and latitude coordinates, enter them into the Target section. Note: After entering in a target the mortar will fire upon being loaded. Load a flare shell by clicking the mortar with a shell in hand and after it has fired notify your spotter to inform you of any corrections that need to be given. Once the spotter has relayed any corrections to you, enter them into the Dial section. Note: The further away your target is the less accurate the mortar becomes so you will have to correctly offset it more. Keep firing on that position until new coordinates are given or until the spotter tells you to stop. Example: The flare lands and the spotter notices that it missed the targeted area by 4 tiles east and 3 tiles south and relays that to you. You would then dial the offset as -4 Longitude and 3 Latitude. Dialling Graph:
