WBTS Weapon Effect: The Mortar (v.5) Feature Showcase!
(Click on the image above to begin playing)
The first pass on the mortar effects is complete. The Mortar features smoke effects, flash, range, mobility, rate of fire, angle of fire and firepower. Click on the image above to test out the effects (Push the Left Mouse button to ‘Fire’). The final version of the mortar will represent ‘The Dictator’ – 13″ Seacoast Mortar. Weighing in at 17,000 lbs, fires a 13″, 200 lb. steel ball.
The mortar fires a shell, not a ball. Although the ball is steel it explodes when the fuze finishes burning and explodes the powder charge… In flight…. in the dark… the fuze would be visible burning as the shell arcs… The shell parabola with the lighting source and shadow are very cool…
