Mortar? Use your command map to see where your shots hit.

Usually motors use themselfs pretty well. I know when I turn my key in the ignition, my motor starts right up all by itself. Than, all I have to do is step on pedals, and it does the rest.

You use the latitude and longitudal bearings on the mortar to line up your shots. The vertical axis is the current degree your shot is, while the horizontal is like, a compass. Think about it like this; the higher up your fire the mortar, the closer the shell will land to you. As duke'ku said, you can use your command map to see where your shot hit so you can reposition yourself.

Practising with it is a good idea too. You do things like try to hit the trees on oasis.

Well ok I was being a jerk about saying that people need to look in the game manual. But did anyone take my advice?
