This is the stat article for mortars found in Valkyria Chronicles 4. Note that the stats of the interception grenade are affected by the mortar equipped.

It is worth noting that the blast radius of a mortar is not displayed: the aiming reticle is not a blast area indicator, but a target indicator that works like the standard crosshair. See Accuracy for more information on what the standard reticle shows.

Sanders series - Balanced

The Sanders series are the default, jack-of-all-trades mortars, with moderate accuracy and a balance between vs Pers and vs Armor performance, though their mediocre accuracy and low vs Armor makes aiming for tank radiators a somewhat fraught endeavour. They have a moderately large blast radius, and their accuracy means they are reasonably likely to hit close enough to a point target to do significant damage.

Hartman series - Anti-Personnel

The Hartman series mortars boast an improved blast radius and an almost exclusive focus on antipersonnel attack power. Their accuracy is extremely low, making them more suited to bombardment of groups of enemies than hitting single targets.

Elias series - Anti-Armor

The Elias series are the most accurate among the mortars, focused on attacking precision targets such as Fixed Weapons and accurate enough at high levels to specifically target a tank's radiator. Their vs Armor is extremely high, though they pay the price for this with a very focused blast area and weak performance against infantry: at high levels, the final model can only really kill Snipers or Engineers in one shot.

Captured

Imperial mortars have an odd quirk in that typically their interception fire is more accurate than their aimed fire.
