But its difficult to hit moving objects when the projectile (bomb) takes so much time to land. Mortar are also very powerful against ships. This is a good tactic against strong, big and slow ships like the First Rate. When you are next to an enemy ship, independently of it's size (in fact, the bigger the better), you can throw the barrel from the size in order to make it landing IN the enemy ship. We all know how to commonly use powder: we throw from the back of our ship an make it a "sea mine". There are three of them I will share: Powder, Oil and Mortar. There a some battle tactics you can use to sink ships.
