Mortars do massive damage to turrets. If you are able to shoot these mortars down before they cause the damage you are extending the life of your turrets increasing the likelyhood that the enemy fleet will not make it into your base. It's finding that balance between offensive and defensive turrets. Most have 2-3 defensive and the rest offensive.
