Destroyer is partially correct in what he is saying. SL1 is a pointless waste of space and benefits the base nothing. SL2 is also just as pointless unless you have 5-6 VM's. SL3 is the one you definately want and if using 4-5 VM's then is a very handy tool to overwhelm Anti-Mortar capability.

SL3 does not give any penalty to DPS unlike SL1 and SL2. It is merely the fire rate change which maintains the DPS and overwhelms most antimortars.

The point of having mortars is to force the enemy ships to enter your base fully which hopefully you have Cerb Rockets or Howitzers to do increased damage to enemy ships. What is ideal is combining VM's with Halos and make them run into 2-3 Cerbs. This has proven to be one of the best turret setups in the game.
