Yes! And if the mortar was fired from the same position on the same truck, would not the recoil affect the springs on the vehicle exactly the same???
So you fire - with the effect on the sprung platform, and your forward spotter calls out long by XX, go left by YY;
then you adjust, and your next round has the exact same sprung platform, and your forward spotter calls out short by XX, right by YY;
and so you adjust, and the mortar is right on, after the platform was sprung exactly the same as the previous shots.
So, just what difference does the stability of the mortar platform make as long as its recoil effect is constant???
