rant...

I just uninstalled Battle Bay from my devices.

I fought my way to 1600+ in the Shooter. Switched to the Enforcer with new crew training and weapons which leaped me to 1893 in days. Then the games down cycle hit and I'm at 1500 facing ships much stronger than when I previously pasted this level but now they're loaded with nothing but mortars, torpedos, and mines. Literally. A bunch of these players sont even have a cannon. It's not fun, it's frustrating, it's not productive in the game. I switched to sniper and mortar on the enforcer, made forward progress, then went back to the shooter to play a few games. Last game I was dancing with another shooter closeup with both of us aiming mortars at each other. If I have to load a ship with mortars and chuck them indiscriminately over walls to compete I'm just going to quit unless or until something changes. There was a thrill being in the Enforcer firing cannons at ships taking damage and trying to hold out to win the battle. But this other shit, it just sucks.

 

Well if you are loading out with primarily mortars, you are less likely to progress. It is an easy cheese early on, but it doesn't get you that far (yes there are a few exceptions).
You definitely do NOT and should NOT primarily use mortars if you want to progress. It's just a terrible idea. Also mines are not an issue if you pay attention to where they are... they're pretty obvious. And it's not overly hard to dodge torpedos.

Anyway, none of this matters coz you don't play anymore. Enjoy your life. Ciao!

 

Mortars work deadly only when the 3 to 4 players on ur team have them and when they all target the same player he is done there is nowhere that player can hide.
This is usually the case in lower infamy region (upto 1k)
