Default 2" mortar

Met and old chap in a coffee shop years ago that used to drive carriers and when he found out I had one, well.. It was great listening to him and he said that on recce they didn't like to fire forward firing weapons because it slowed the carrier down too much. They would place the 2" mortar facing back and as they were beating the hell out of some hot area they would fire it and the machine gun backwards and gain a couple of mph from the recoil. He also talk me how to break the track :-)
