The 3CB mortar uses the artillery computer, unless the mission designer has placed an ACE mk6 mortar module within the mission.  In this case the computer is disabled and you have to use the range cards.

Here's the link http://ace3mod.com/wiki/feature/mk6mortar.html

To add to Lifetaps comment, the mortar was created with the following setup in mind:
- At least 3 players to optimally operate the mortar (4 for sustained and high right of fire)
       - Gunner, spotter, loader/ammo bearer/rear security (x2 optional)
- Vehicle to transport and relocate (as it is quite heavy to hump around)

+1 for being part of a well drilled mortar team !

In testing we found it was possible to pretty much rapid fire "for effect" with at least 3 loaders.

Devastating for anyone downgrade...

Skill is hitting what you blooming well aim at !

Andy1 has a training piece coming up - #GetHara !

Thanks for all the info, I will print and laminate those instructions :)

Quiet excited to get out on range in Editor perhaps and start practicing each aspect of using mortars then perhaps passing it on to the section when in pub and when required.

They're quite effective when used correctly :). During testing, we leveled Air-station Mike (Stratis) in devastatingly short order with the use of 2 loaders 'switch hitting' for the gunner once he was zeroed in. You can essentially fire 1 round per second for as long as you have rounds.

Worth noting, that I believe there is an ACE bug, that results in an incorrect range being calculated for the mortar.  Only occurs when the mortar is fire from a non-horizontal surface.

Looks like it was fixed in 3.2.0

Yes it is correct I am in the middle of creating a training. This is an update of our previous training including how to use the 3CB mortar and ACE plus a couple of helpful items I have found that help. This should be up and running shortly but there are exciting things happening in training world that might slow this all down.

I can if anyone wants to be on the public tonight to show you what to do as an example so you can start playing now.

The Ace mortar module is placed on my public server missions.
