Mortars: DO. NOT. WORK.
Mortars have been so badly nerfed since BF1 that they have no use at all. You grind your way to level 49 with derermination and excitement to get that final gadget to find out it doesn't work. Why...

Yeah the mortar's smoke grenades are worthless, I mean how can you use them tactically when their cloud is so small, disperses so quickly, and takes 10 seconds to arrive?
Also as mentioned the HE rounds are pathetic, it is so difficult to get a kill and since you instantly become visible no matter where you have stationed, you are more likely to be hunted down and killed by a Recon player or their drone before accomplishing anything.
They definitely overconpensated since BF1. The only way I see them being effective is if you get a squad of mortars, which isnt very likely, and just spam it in one spot.
