Mortars

Info

Combat Role	Long-Range Artillery

Mortars are the longest-range cannons in the game. As with all cannons, they require roundshot either in the gunner's inventory or in the ship's ammunition storage to fire. They possess the ability to deal extremely high damage at extremely long range, but are difficult to aim and require a long amount of time and lead for their shots to accurately to hit the target. Larger cannons do more damage, but can only be mounted on ships that have the ability to mount cannons at or above their size.

The Red Mortar is a special, crate-exclusive Mortar from 2015 which fires red hammer-and-sickle particles out of the mortar alongside the round shot. It also has a deeper "boom" sound effect when fired.
