I am building Vietnam support into my HLL artillery calculator for the upcoming beta

Hey everyone. I have been following the Hell Let Loose Vietnam news closely and I am already getting the math ready for the new systems. I am a solo developer and I have been building an Android only utility for the current game. Instead of making a new app I am just going to build Vietnam support directly into the same one so it is ready for the playtest later this month.

I saw from the latest previews that the NVA has dedicated mortar units now while the US has access to heavy fire support so I am already looking into how the ranging will change compared to the fixed WW2 guns. Since the NVA mortars are meant to be more mobile I want to have the logic built out so we can use the calculator the second the servers go live for the open beta.

If you guys find the current app helpful for the WW2 maps I would love to know what you want to see for the jungle maps. Specifically I am curious if you think we will need more focus on mobile mortar teams for those asymmetric fights or if you think fixed positions will still be the meta.

Let me know what you think of the design plus any specific fire support gear you are hoping to see in the beta. See you in the jungle!
