The Barbarian's Dual Mortars are a close range lob weapon. While they have extremely short range in most situations, their advantage is not only their considerable damage, but their predictable range. This allows the pilot to target opponents regardless of what elevation they may be firing at with their other weapons. While this range is quite short, the arc which the projectiles travel is quite short, it continues in this arc regardless of height. This means that the weapon is able to reach further distances when firing at targets well below the mech. Because of this, firing from elevated positions is highly advantageous to the Barbarian.
