Are any of the Devs looking at this?
We're currently (slowly) testing/working towards making the next batch of significant changes to the combat system/the game and how to make the effectiveness of mortars more historical is one of the things being studied currently.
Another factor you might want to look at is how ROF is treated in the game. The mortars all seem to have 12-15. 70-80 mm guns have about 10 (except ZIS-3 field gun which has 15?) which drops down to 6 for 100 - 105 mm and 4 for 150mm.
Mortar ROF seems to be burst fire, while Artillery ROF seems to be sustained fire? Either way, ROF should be similar for comparable calibres, except 120 mm mortars which should be in the 100mm range.
