Heavy Mortar

Main Properties
Shoots high explosive shells and can pack a punch in early game. Requires upgrade center to make upgrade an Incendiary Mortar to this. Loses the fire effect but had a bigger splash area and damage.

Basic strategy
The main use of this weapon is early game, to either land a decisive hit on the enemy's core or make him lose time and ressources while progressing toward bigger weapons.

Mortars are often either put on top of building behind protection or on front with special structure, like seen on the following picture :

Advanced strategy
Rushing mortars with Warthog or Firebird (yes, even for heavy mortars) can do a lot of damage.

Recently, people have begun stacking mortars inside their bases to shoot them horizontaly using portals, which render Anti- air unable to shoot it down, but be carreful as the way in which you connect the portal wil make the projectiles goes up or down.



Counter
A bit of anti-air like Machine-guns or Flaks are enough to render mortars inoffensive.
