Rocket turret wins. That is very, very wrong. Please buff/fix Mortar!

It’s silly that the Mortar dies so easily, especially to the engineer’s own skills that are below it on the skill tree. In a perfect situation, it is possible to place it out of range of the Rocket Turret since Mortar has an ever-so-slightly greater range. In the middle of battle is not a perfect situation, especially when adding in height considerations. Add on to that the weak #1 of Mortar with it’s bad radius that doesn’t do any real splash damage and it is possible to only fire off about 2 shots before the Mortar is dead (#5 is awesome but can’t land all damage on a single target). In the middle of battle, you only often get the chance to fire off 2 shots before someone notices and starts AoE’ing you. Opened with #5 and continued with#1 for only like 2 shots. I think I only did like half damage to the rocket turret before Mortar died.

Supply Crate yet again would have probably been better.
