This, so much this. Gorath = walking mortar nuke.
Also the mortar is definitely a weapon that requires a comfort level between gunner and captain. What I mean by that is, the gunner has to know what the captain is doing. I wont randomly jerk left or right or reverse or change speed and leave him with no shots. There is a trust level between captain and gunner with the mortar that is completely absent with the flak. Maybe not completely absent but ...
@ Machiavelliest The mortar is a master at firing down, not up, so the cap has to keep that in mind.
Gambrill:
@Ofiach you are so right about the firing down. But if your within spitting distance it won't matter ;)
Skrimskraw:
scylla vs galleons.
Way I do it:
ambush and ram the galleon, then sine up behind hind or on his sniper side. front side of a galleon is hard to stay on, but most players cant react to behind or sides. if you go on the sniper side too, chances are the only thred there will be the mercury, but if he wants to use his hull engie on the merc, then he will die faster anyway.
if he tries to turn, just follow him around, the scylla has a large clip so your gunner can basicly just keep pressing the trigger.
now when the hull of the galleon is down, we all know its hell for the hull engineer when he gets hit by 5 mortars in a row, often if charged is used, results in instant death without the need for reload.
HamsterIV:
It is worth noting that the Scylla has a smaller lateral field of fire then the Echidna. So while it is possible to get a Gat/Flack/Gat trifecta on a pyramidion, it is impossible to do the same with a mortar. It is mostly for this reason I don't change out my flack to a mortar.
Captain Smollett:
A really good Scylla gunner doesn't need a second gat. Load in burst and use the first 10 shots to assist the armor break, finish with the remaining rounds for a brutally fast kill.
