Realistic mortar ranges


Hello,

was just wondering if it was ever brought up about updating the ranges of the mortars (L16 & M6) closer to that of there IRL counterparts
the only reason i bring this up is the L16 in game has a range of 3150m* whereas IRL is over 5500m* and the M6 ingame 2100m* and IRL over 3500m* 
a possible idea might be to add some extra charges for each gun 
still awesome weapons massive improvement over anything else kicking about in RHS, CUP or any other mods 

Cheers, Cammy

Can you provide a link to your references for the ranges. The 60mm I have feeling has less of a range because it is hand held so you can’t use as many charges but I will need to look at the manual for it.

From the Pam for the 60:

HE L2A1, HE L4A1 and WP L3A1 have a minimum range of 200m and a max of 1800m.
Illum L5A1/L6A1 have a minimum of 350 and a maximum of 1800m.

For the 81:
HE/WP minimum range of 100m, maximum of 5675.
Illum is 400m minimum out to a max range of 4800.

We use the commando variant.

The figures match those from Redder's as you might expect 

I suspect you're looking at a 60mm with base plate and bipod

Ahh alright cheers for clarifying that ,neat piece of kit 
Although the other one the L16 will anything be addressed with its ranges? 
An idea could be to add the updated rangetables with a similar method to the m6 if yous do add the extra charges

Focused on Tank DLC bug fixes for the most part, sorry. Lifetap has already made a host of fixes to the mortar ammunition though, so when the pack updates are released to the community, there will be more mortar capabilities.
