How come I can get indirect fire from mortars and T30s but not M7s that are on the map. Mortars do not even have radios.

I don't think that Battlefront has ever officially commented on it, but the general consensus is that the small map sizes and time scales of most missions make the use of on-map larger caliber artillery in an indirect role impractical.

In general, the *minimum* indirect fire ranges for even a 105mm howitzer will exceed the size of most maps in the game, or if not will exceed the distance from friendly map edge to targeted enemy unit.

Pretty nice for bunker busting or house clearing though.
