You are the only video I’ve found that actually explained very simply, HOW to assemble the mortar!!! THANK YOU!!! 👏🏿

[@RyanTurner1331]

Every vanilla asset works with their base/bipod/tripod and their weapon, if it's a mod, it may differ, it's really easy

[@mohammedaa9486]

Wow did you now this is the real thing I was learn in artillery school in my country .nice jab man

[@PVT_Barry]

The best mortar review! Thanks!

[@justinparlin5234]

Weirdly enough, I'm a mortarman in real life and just wanted to know how to use one in ACE.
This is a great video, we use plotting boards for degraded calculations in real life in the US, but it looks like a cool way to simplify it in-game. I noticed the 100 mil bill (deflection off by 100 mils) immediately though, made me laugh
Thanks!

[@heinz-horstholger9476]

Great guide! At 10:00 you took the bearing as "45 and a bit" instead of "44 and a bit" so the round went way off. The only thing I'm missing from the guide is the group size/accuracy of the mortar.

[@asjevdb]

Mortar group size and accuracy differs at range, at the distance he was at you can expect probably around 10m between each shot (Don't quote me on that, just an estimate), if you want extreme accuracy mortars usually aren't the right tool though, they're more for hitting something like a compound and creating chaos/taking out infantry

Thank you so much man, you deserve more than 67 subs

[@TheNibblet99]

No worries, honestly I'd be happy with 0 subs, I only make content when I see a need for it. (kinda waiting for Arma 4 now) But thank you for the kind compliment

[@bretdouglas9407]

That was really helpful,thanks

[@TheNibblet99]

you're welcome

[@sevendythreerd5292]

hello what key bind did you bind for the gun elevation on your mouse wheel i cant find it in the settings

[@punishedkid]

I don't even play Arma I just thought this would be interesting and it was.

[@boslog]

You said something about adding 11 for every 100 meters.. how did you get 4? Sorry im bad at math. Also i notice you were firing uphill. Is it right to assume that if you are subtracting if firing uphill, you gonna do the opposite and adding if firing downhill?

[@matthewfraser3826]

The outer numbers are mils. There are 6400 mills in 360 degrees. The red line is on approximately 4455 mils.

[@TheNibblet99]

Just wanted to say thank you. Originally I couldn't find how to work the mortars anywhere on the net, so had to work it out for myself, and did a vid to share that knowledge. As such it means I'm greatly lacking on the actual terminology, so it's always appreciated to have someone fill in these gaps for me.
Every day learning new things, is a good day.
Thank you!

@@TheNibblet99 I gotta say it is a very well put together video. Im in the military and am familiar with the terminology. But I’m new to arma and wouldn’t have figured it out very easily and this helped tremendously. Unfortunately it seems the mortars are kinda worthless in the campaign as the ai won’t pick up one of the bags for me unless I’ve missed something.

[@swanoflove6833]

my biggest problems with mortars is i just simply cannot rearm them no matter how hard i try, in vanilla or ace, and ive tried messing with settings and rearming in so many ways i just cant!

[@Salazar249]

myyman has to be a mathematic professional to use the ACE morteur

[@boslog]

How is it that your mortar got magazine while me, i have to load 1 every shot i have to exit mortar and load for 3 seconds

[@TheNibblet99]

That depends on your ACE settings I believe. I'm using the regular Arma mortar to not make the video too confusing for the people who aren't using ACE

[@boslog]

@@TheNibblet99 im playing with my unit's server and one time i asked the curator for a mortar he gave me the one already loaded with a magazine but if he is not present, the one i get from arsenal i have to manually load every shot

[@boslog]

Nevermind.. i was using laser guided rounds

[@PVT_Barry]

Still playing Arma?

[@TheNibblet99]

Not at the moment. Life is busy, and time is limited right now. Looking forwards to a future release of Arma4 but I doubt that will be any time soon.
