Current 81mm and some 60mm rounds can be set to Air burst, Impact, or Delay via a dial. Air burst to take out a larger area of troops. Impact to take out vehicles, destroy defenses. Delay for bunker busting and building devastation.

One key to using a mortar is having all your presets. Already having the target positions plotted ahead of time. Where the enemy will attack from, and where he will run to. A good forward observer team will identify these positions and plot them for the mortar team.
