Agree +1.
Mortars were fine, most of my deaths were from snipers when I'm trying to cap a point.
Indeed....Ballroom Blitz Operation, as the attacking team....just stand back and look at the main building, it twinkles like stars in the sky with the hordes of snipers scope reflections picking off people with little to no cover...that's far more frustrating.

Get up them ladders and take em out, lost count how many times I've been up there and got my kill count up with a run round killing them all while their gazing into the distance, love snipers.
You're damn right I don't like being disturbed, bloody mortars!

So basically, sniping campers don't like mortars which take them out at a distance, but they are fine with picking off people from miles away with a sniper rifle...
mortars are a great deterant for snipers. many dont realize the fluidity they add to the game.
when to many snipers are playing it becomes slower game.mortars keep them on the move. wrong change to the mortars and yes i did use them a lot.

I really don't get all this uproar about snipers. I rarely get killed by them. Keep moving and use appropriate cover and your chances of getting hit are vastly reduced. Of course I am going to get killed on time or another by a sniper, but its no more frequently than by any other kit. Just don't traverse across long open spaces where you KNOW you will be vulnerable. Don't stand still either.
I don't think its a matter of them getting kills its more a matter of them sitting back doing almost bugger all while everyone else is on the attack. Its not unusual to find little groups of 3 or 4 of them lagging way behind everyone else.
Usually whilst chanting the mantra , "gotta pad my stats" over and over and rocking gently back and forth in their computer chair
Snipers aren't too much of an issue, its the shotgun and gas spam now IMO.
Depends, the Selbstlader 1906 (medic) is pants but the Hellriegel (assault) is pretty good. Haven't unlocked the support or sniper yet but by all accounts the Hout is crap and the Martini Henry is pretty good.

I actually quite like the gas grenades, makes it quite tactical. I'm about rank 25 and I think I've only ever been killed by gas grenades about 3 times. The Hunter A-10 is a bit op though.
I only noticed last week that if you make an Emblem, it shows on the sides of vehicles when you are driving them. Then yesterday I also noticed that it shows your emblem on your uniform and also on your weapon. Which I thought was pretty cool
Now..medics though. The revive situation is getting worse I swear. 2 rounds today earlier today and I got a grand total of 1 revive. For whatever reason , the majority of medics just dont bother to revive. I know that many people hit the space bar but I always wait the full length to give nearby medics the opportunity to revive. As the players cant seem to motivate themselves to provide revives , maybe they need to do something OTT like give you 5000 points for a revive or something, some incentive for the public medics to revive. I play mainly as a medic myself and always go out of the way to revive people, its only when I play as a non medic that I really notice how bad it must be for other players to actually get revived.

Medics are woeful, they either don't bother their arse to revive you even when you can see they're really close, or they charge over and revive you into another quick death. Why they removed the accept revive mechanic i'll never know, just something they'll probably patch in despite it being an obvious addition from the get go.
It's a great combination
One of reasons there are classes and different types of weapons is to ensure you can change to pick something more suitable for a specific situation.
You're not going to use a shotgun and gas out in the open are you? Likewise you should't really run in first to close quarters as medic.
