The French 150 mm mortars have an attack value for infantry of 7. Dutch 80 mm mortars have a soft target attack value of 11. Can the Design Team please explain this? Thanks jonny

Its sustained rof over longer periods was 2, maybe 3 rounds per minute, 4 in bursts. No idea how good its shell was, including whether they were still 1917 shell tech.Thanks Ricky B! I am playing the French now in a big campaign and wanted to make sure I was getting all my fair share of firepower.
Most 80 mm mortars could do burst of 30 rounds per minute, and 15 to 20 sustained.
So I can easily see the 80 being higher than the 150. The ratings aren't per shell but total rounds on target (so accuracy matters) so there can be a lot of variability.
