One thing I should mention about mortars.
They are a crew served weapon. To be safe they can't hurtle anything heavy, which means their range is limited. They need to have no overhead obstructions to shoot so they're usually set up in open areas. They are also distinctly noisy. So that means you have a stationary weapon with multiple targets noisily broadcasting their location to all enemies in the area, making them excellent sniper fodder. We have several mortars locally and I haven't seen them deployed in games more than a half dozen times, and their effectiveness was questionable. Our local snipers like it when the mortar teams show up in fact because they know it means easy kills.
