I totalyl agree that its a poor excuse for artillery.

However, Brits players (most of them) have large quanties of Recon Snipers avalible as an alternative as a whole. OR should you wish, Rifle Grenades.

RE players get the AVRE (which in my opinion is far suprior to any artillery piece when used in conjuction with recon tommies.

and Commando players get Smoke/commadno combo.

These are by no means a replacement for the mortar (except maybe for the AVRE, cause they're awesome) but a different approach for a different faction.

The AVRE is t2, and doesn't become really good until bombardier and/or vet2. Using it with a recon tommy require 12 pop, mortar itself is 4 pop.

Recon and rifle grenades requires the unit to get into combat range. The rifles can fire over hedge roll but do you expect hedge roll to be everywhere?

Hey, i never said it was a perfect solution.

Just giving you options.

While certain abilities may require "unlocks" you cant just say that because they require unlocks you shall not consider them. That would be downright foolish. When assessing balance it needs to be done from a complete company downwards. By this i mean the company should be assumed to be full and finished. Invariably this will lead to imbalances upon the way, which has ALWAYS been the way in EIR. Its one of the interesting aspects of persistence, things change as the game progresses.

is the other company as crippled during the process? Inevitably a level 1 will be disadvantaged against a level 8, but at least commanders of the equivalent level should be balanced.

If a doctrine has to be level 8 to be competent, then the doctrine is flawed  

would you guys be fine if a doctrine is underppowered early on but completely overpower at the late game?
