Mortar Update

[DeV]

Well, you've seen the tanks. Now, just to show you that there will be something in Carpathian Crosses for tankers and infantry fans alike - we proudly present the Russian M-1939 mortar. Isn't she beautiful?

This was produced in large numbers and was standard kit in Russian infantry units up until 1943. It was also used, when captured, by German and Finnish forces and was later exported to China and Vietnam.

The mortar requires a crew of 2 experienced troops to operate effectively, throwing a 50mm HE round up to 800 metres. The skill comes in one crewman setting the angle (45 or 75 degrees) and judging the correct settings of the mechanism at the base, adjusting the power of the shell's launch, whilst his mate carries out range-finding and spotting duties.

In the hands of two skilled crewmen working together this mortar is a deadly addition to the RO arsenal.

 



And, as if that weren't enough, we bring you a few sneak peek of new weapon sounds and  Romanian voice commands. We think the voice commands are great step in bringing Romania's role in the Ostfront to life. Many thanks to Vlad for the voice-actor work.

The three sounds below are the "We're burning!" tank alert, the artillery confirmation message and the 50mm mortar launch sound. No prizes for guessing which is which.

How did he get the voices?

[Nestor]

Got an actor, put headphones on him and played battle sounds full blast into his ears whilst he was doing his lines.

Mortar looks nice, but the links don't work for me (nuts)

Its a sacrifice we had to take The forum post gets directly posted on the frontpage too. Therefore we need to include the target="_blank" to open the pictures in a new window. In the forums, this HTML doesn't work. Just delete the target piece behind it, or check the media page on our site to view the images too
