Mortar range bug or just me?

I've been trying to target smoke with my mortar team for a few minutes. Couldn't understand why they wouldn't fire. Eventually I realised it was saying the target area was out of range so pulled the eye line back to find the maximum range and then I noticed this... It is saying target is out of range all the way in until 'target too close'. Surely this is a bug or is it some mechanic of the game I have not yet understood?

Yes, I'd agree with Buckykatt.

General question: IRL do mortar rounds have a minimum flight time/fuse time, such they cannot impact on the canopy/branches above the tube and rain shrapnel upon the firing team?
 
Interesting stuff and I t makes sense. I think it’s beause it was saying the range was bad that got me confused.
 
I think the 'Out of range' result is a buglet. Have you tried targeting (ie left click) when it shows that message?
 
Yes, it leaves the target line like it is successful order but then there is no firing when the orders are executed.
 
Ah ok. Still learning!
Think it’s a bit odd it says out of range though.
 
Ah thanks! I should have checked the battlefront forums first I suppose :rolleyes:
 
You can get odd indications like that also if a mortar team buddy aids a bazooka and then run out of ammo for either. Just do the target order as intended, but make sure to "target smoke" if that is what you want. Looks like it is the only ammo left, but "target" would try to use HE ammo.
