	Tanknet > Future mortar systems
		Since all mortars are essentially the same in operation--in US service, for example, they all use the same sight, regardless of caliber--maybe mortars should be issued according to the mission.
		They have light weight commando mortars, which are great for patrolling, the medium 60's which are adequate for most roles, and now you have long range 60's, which go out to 6km, which fill most of the 81 role, with half the ammo weight.
		The US M224 does a good job filling both the light patrol mortar and the company level mortar role, but I don't see a useful purpose having these at the Bn level, they just don't have the range to cover the area assigned to a Bn these days.
