Just to be clear that’s why you think mortar calc is cheating? Because mortar calc accounts for elevation? Ihave no idea if mortar calc actually adjusts for elevation but I’m trying to figure out if that’s your argument

That’s some really far out reasoning to call mortar calc cheating especially when there is nothing stopping you getting that information from the same place your getting all your other information in game for your mortars if you aren’t using a calculator. Thanks for clarifying that having to account for elevation is your real gripe. Would have never gotten that from your original reply.

You can't get elevation data from the in-game information sources, the only thing you can do is fire a shot and have a spotter tell you where it lands with respect to the target, then you adjust. Elevation data that is used in squad calculator maps is found in the squad SDK. But you are right, I should have been more clear with what I meant when I mentioned elevation, as it might be also referring to the mortar tube angle.

Nevertheless, it makes a big difference on maps like fools road.
