Calling in Mortar fire from squadmate

[jpinard 10]

I searched the forum for "Mortar" in the subject-line and there's no good consensus on if this is broken or not.

If I have a squad of 5 Mortars, how do I tell them to attack an area or target? I've tried having the boss be an FAC Operator, Fire Team Leader, and Squad Leader. Without scripting none of them appear to have the ability to call down fire. Furthermore, the Mortarmen don't attack with direct fire either no matter how close or far away they are from the enemy. Hopefully someone can offer some advice. I'd like to see what it looks like to have mortars come raining down on target-rich area.

Thanks all! :)

It's not broken, just fairly involved to get functioning for the first time, depending on what you are trying to achieve.

if you have Group Link 4, all you have to do is sync your player to a module, and the mortars to a module, and then u can use them by mapclick, very quick to set up.
