Background
Version fitted with 2B9 Vasilek 82 mm automatic mortar. This is a heavy chassis Humvee equipped with a 2B9 Vasilyek 82 mm automatic mortar and intended to provide more protection for US troops in combat zones. This was developed in 2004 by engineers at the US Army's Picatinny Arsenal.

Involvement
This is the first long ranged unit, delivering mortars at long range. It has a very limitted ammunition capacity and requires constant reloading.

Strategy
The strategy of mortars is to NOT have them bunch together. Instead, create "rings" of fire, so each mortar is mutually supported by others in other locations. Having them on hills and defended by trenches is good as well.

Quotes
"Right away!"

Trivia
The mortar is the only long range tier 1 unit.
