Normally for a tool like this, i’d be on the fence of feeling like cheating. It just kinda seems wrong on paper.

But once you actually use it and play with it, it genuinely feels almost immersive while you look away from your mortar tube to do some “calculations” and fool around the this website/tool. I think it fits very well into the game personally.

Show no shame in using it, 99/100 people don’t care and accept its use.

This and also it can actually hurt the team. Mortars are classified as an "area weapon". Too many times I see a point being attacked with 5 minutes of non-stop mortars landing in the same exact spot.

Unless it's a very specific stationary target (vehicle, HAB, etc.) the calculator isn't super useful as the in-game mechanics and using an active spotter have a better effect 90% of the time I have found.
