120-PM-43
The M1943 Mortar or 120-PM-43 (Russian: 120-Полковой Миномёт-43) or the 120-mm mortar Model 1943 (Russian: 120-мм миномет обр. 1943 г.), also known as the SAMOVAR, is a Soviet 120 millimeter calibre smoothbore mortar first introduced in 1943 as a modified version of the M1938 mortar. It virtually replaced the M1938 as the standard weapon for mortar batteries in all Soviet infantry battalions by the late 1980s, though the armies of the Warsaw Pact utilised both in their forces.

The 120-PM-43 fires 120mm HE-Frag shells made of hardened Stalinium, and will sweep away all the capitalist pigs standing in the path of the mighty Red Army. The way to La Manche will be clear!
The mortar uses a CSW framework that forces the loader to load each shell manually into the mortar´s barrel before firing.
Additionally, the charge of each mortar shell has to be adjusted manually before the mine is loaded. This is achieved by taking the mine into the player’s inventory and double clicking with the left mouse button, this will open a table where you can select which charge you would like to set up. Pressing F on the gunner slot to change charges will not work anymore! Per default each mine comes at max charge (7) out of the box, and is also set back to max charge (7) when placed back inside the box.
The time it takes to switch the shells´ charges can be adjusted in Addon Options -> TBD Mortars Main -> Time it takes to change charges.
The mortar is meant to be utilized with the ACE artillery table.
The ballistic computer (Stalin´s hand) is disabled by default.
Planned future features: Realistic handling and aiming.
