fire value for mortars

[Ricky B]

Per David, although it has been awhile, the post from Green is still the current situation. Due to many priorities, the patches for PzB that will include the change for mortars will likely be out around year end, say 4 months.

From myself, rather than David, although mortars don't work correctly against low density targets, the impact is not as great as some other items that are being worked on, which are impacting PzC in particular. Even strictly in PzB terms, the scenarios were all tested with the current mortar issue and personally, I don't think it breaks the scenarios/play, even though I know I mostly focused on smoke with mortars even before this issue was found.

I know there is some work being done to bring in more developers in part to handle work that John may have been doing, but that will take some time to completely pay dividends. Due to work on the next PzB, which includes numerous enhancements as noted by Green back in March, I don't think an interim beta patch for BoN will be available prior to the official patches. I do hope to have 2-3 new large multi day scenarios for North Africa build around the Crusader time frame. One of these, I have already shared here at the Blitz, with the 3rd of the group relying on an enhancement in the patch that isn't available in the NA builds yet, so I don't think it will make it into the patch but I will load to the Blitz when it is ready.
