This is a thread about things you may and may not know about MORTARS.

According to Wikipedia:

Quote:

"A mortar is an indirect fire weapon that fires explosive projectiles at low velocities, short ranges, and high-arcing ballistic trajectories"

More about Mortars:
- Light and medium mortars are portable, and usually used by infantry units.

Attachment 7628

- The chief advantage a mortar section has over an artillery battery is the flexibility of small numbers, mobility and the ability to engage targets with plunging fires.

- The mortar is an excellent infantry support weapon, as it can be transported over any terrain and is not burdened by the logistical support needed for artillery

Attachment 7629

-A mortar can be carried by one or more people , or transported in a vehicle. (Refer to no. 1)

Therefore, it is possible to make a mortar infantry troop and the ability to use the mortar as a support weapon (like spells and clan castle) in offensive battles is possible

Did they have flaming mortar shells in the past? If not, Clash of Clans is historically incorrect.

Mortar shells are a "perfect fit" in real mortars

The In game mortar shells are kinda small for the caliber of the mortar
