The Mortar Shell is an anti-structure artillery Shell used by Mortars.
Uses
Specifications
Like other artillery shells it is indirect fire: it has a natural inaccuracy which increases with range, its trajectory is affected by the wind, and it can trigger the retaliation of Howitzer Garrisons.
It explodes on impact.
By default its explosion deals 300 High Explosive damage in a 2.5m radius and decreasing amounts in a 5m radius.
It's effective against most structures but much less against very resistant ones, and awful against Trenches.
It is not very effective against armored vehicles and its innacuracy makes it hard to hit a mobile target. It can disable their subsystems (the tracks in most cases).
It can kill infantry and unarmored vehicles although that isn't cost efficient.
