Mortars
Yet to see anyone post anything about this gadget lately or talk about it but they are now virtually useless. Did I miss the update that says they are now going to land randomly around where your aim...

The only buff I would suggest for mortars is to lower the starting "bloom" when dropping them on a location. So instead of needing 5-6 shots to finally start hitting center, maybe 2-3.
Mortars work great when they are used to flush enemies from cover. The problem is that it often takes so long to get the projectile to the actual cover that the game has progressed and you're probably on the next stage before one even hits the ground.
I would also suggest a change to the resupply cooldown. First, don't start the CD until the mortar is actually gone. Then after that it should take longer than it currently is, because even if you get counter or droned you already have your ammo on you and you just plop down another tube after shooting the drone. It completely negates the effort you put in to counter mortar when it works like it currently does.
Oh, and fix the glitch or bug or whatever that lets you increase your fire rate by having a ammo pack on you. This along with the above suggestions would be fine at the no ammo box speed, otherwise just make it always the faster reload at least.
