    Question Mortar Strikes

    Last night I was left wondering ...

    There was one person that always ... always ... without fail … would hit and kill me (when I set up to attempt a mortar strike) with what seemed to be their first shot. It would be one thing if he was constantly hitting the same area and I set up in the same exact place, but this person did it regardless of where I set up. In fact, he did it when I set up in a new location (opposite side of the city) and immediately after I shot my first mortar and before my shot landed he killed me with his first strike.

    Is this possible? Is there an upgrade that makes this possible or was I simply crazy and/or a mortar magnet? In that round, I wasn't taken out by any other mortar strike ... and I was killed by the same person only when I was attempting to use the mortar myself.

    In every location, I was not in the line of sight for this individual or his team. Unfortunately, I don't recall the person's name.

    I was left puzzled. Perhaps I am missing something?

    No, how so? I haven't noticed that yet.

    Good grief ... no ... I saw the little bomb but I never knew that is what that was!

    What a nub!

    I believe the split second white icon shows up for all deployables, with the exception of mines, c4 and claymores. Although, I have not witnessed a soflam showing up?

    I believe soflam shows up once somebody has marked it.

    But no more so than anything else. The mortar shows itself when it fires.

    I wish mortar strikes were a bit more effective

    I think it's stupid they get marked on the map as soon as you fire...at least make it so you have to mark it manually, THEN it's permanent...

    I've noticed that they are up in the same place without going away. I'm guessing it may be on the map as long as someone is manning the mortar?
