Café Trivia
Shinseiki Evangelion
(Neon Genesis Evangelion)
question:
In episode 6, the combined UN forces use "mortars" to attack the angels. What's wrong with the mortars?
answer:
They're not mortars, they're cannons. Mortars are strickly for indirect fire at elevations where line-of-sight is not possible. Any large gun that is designed to shoot directly at a target is a cannon. - Leo Sutic
According to Andrew Dederer:
The thing's modeled after a monstrous German WWII artillery piece (morter) nicknamed "Thor" used at Sevestepol in 1942.
