No it is not.
If it shows a mortar Icon it's a "gun" if it shows just the "crew" as infantry it's a DF.
The formation it is in is Para Pl DW[A].....DW indicated it's set up as " detached weapons"...ie a formation that has it support weapons outside the platoon instead of integrated into it. |
When opening the unit and looking at the details it is listed as: 60mm DF mortar and indeed only fires direct, cannot be called in by a FOO. The DF stands for direct fire doesn't it? If there are two classes of direct fire (gun class vs crew class) only then they will have to be distinguished somehow.
Thanks for the explanation about carrying, I did know that already but very helpful to anyone else who may be following this thread.
