I agree me we tried mortars only to find that ai cant man them i think that would help due to there range if ai could man ships I think it would make offline raiding a lot harder cause they would get attacked from a ways out and mortars are harder to snipe people off of cause your pretty well tucked behind the mortar itself cannons only reach so far and make it hard for a defense in my opinion. Honestly devs should just make it so ai can mount mortars they do alot of damage and have great range.
