1. Overview

1.1 mk6 mortar overhaul

ACE3 adds wind deflection for shells as well as a rangetable to accurately take out your target without the artillery computer.

2. Usage

2.1 Switching charge

• Press F (Arma 3 default key bind Fire Mode Switch) to switch between charges

2.2 Opening the table

• Self interact Ctrl + ⊞ Win
• Select equipment.
• Select Open 82mm Rangetable.

2.2 Getting your shells to land where you want.

For this you need a 82mm Rangetable, Map Tools and a Vector 21 are also recommended.

• Get the distance and elevation difference between you and the target for this you can use map tools.
• Select the charge you want to use (0 = close / 1 = medium / 2 = far).
• Open the 82mm Rangetable
• Calculate the correct ELEV (elevation):
  • Open the Rangetable and click on the charge you're using.
  • Find your range under the RANGE collumn
  • Under the ELEV collumn find the number that match your range, that's the base elevation you're going to work with.
  • Under the D ELEV for 100m DR find the number that match your ELEV and compensate:
    • Example, if you're 200m above your target multiply the number by 2 and add it to your ELEV.
    • If you're 200m below the target multiply the number by 2 and substract it to your ELEV.
    • The lower the elev the closer to you it will land.
  • Once you finished calculating the ELEV align the barrel of the mortar with your target (directly looking at it) and set your ELEV to what you calculated by using Page Up and Page Down.
  • Once the ELEV is correctly set and the barrel is facing the right direction, shoot and enjoy your bananas while watching hell rain on your enemies.
