For historical information, Wikipedia has an article on M21 Mortar Motor Carriage.

M21 Mortar Motor Carriage is an American self-propelled artillery.

Description[]

A variant of the M3 Half-track, the M21 Mortar Motor Carriage is equipped with a 81mm M1 mortar in the rear compartment. The M2 Browning machine gun is retained, but is moved further back on a pintle mount.

As an artillery piece, the 81mm mortar does not offer very long range and is not very adequate against enemy armour, but it is still good against soft-skinned targets in relatively close support of friendly units with respectable rate of fire.

Trivia[]

The previous model is modified from the original Battlefield 1942's counterpart.
