===In Real Life=== Surprisingly, the role of the mortar carrier is represented rather well in the game. Mortars have always been traditionally under the Infantry, typically in the Weapons Platoon or Company in an Infantry Battalion. When mechanized, all elements would simply be carried on their own APCs. Due to the fast and close quarters nature of modern infantry combat, the mortar was the ideal weapon: accurate, precise and the fastest firing artillery design. Its portability and simplicity makes it cheap enough to be battalion-issued items. Furthermore, it has the unique trait of being far more accurate than howitzer and rocket artillery due to its trajectory, reliably allowing for enemy controlled city blocks to be shelled without endangering a neighbouring block held by friendlies. The simplicity of such designs also allows for far more of these artillery pieces to be produced: mortars are considered Company level equipment; whereas howitzers and rocket artillery have traditionally been Division or even Corps assets; depending on the ORBAT of the country in question.
