how was this confirmed? ive never heard anything about attack ground. as far as i know its the exact same as auto fire, you just get to pick the spot it shoots at.

and as for auto fire being more accurate, thats not completely true. only the german mortar is less accurate while barraging (17% higher scatter ratio). the 82mm and 120mm mortars are actually more accurate while barraging and they shoot faster.

both the 81mm and the 82mm also have 106 range while barraging (80 with auto fire). the 120mm has 100 range when auto firing or barraging.

As mentioned, a rule of thumb for Mortars (and other indirect fire): More accurate at closer ranges, less accurate in the fog of war. The 120mm mortar with a max range barrage into the fog of war is incredibly inaccurate. At short range with vision, it is very accurate and devastating. This applies to all indirect fire.

Attack ground is useful if you expect an enemy to approach through a choke point. You can attack ground preemptively, and if it hits an enemy they will be visible and alert you of an approach. Couple this with a trip flare and you can barrage the choke when they advance.


Is Attack Ground really more precise? Can someone confirm this?

Placing sandbags is a good way to waste precious time. Especially during early game.
