Check the Squat and Demiurg list as the mole morters have been playtested and used on those lists for some time. I don't know if their stats differ from list to list but I believe Jaldon and ePilgrim are working to unify their stats.
I just checked the stats in the Demiurg list ; A 45cm (90cm) 1BP attack is much, much more powerful than this little weapon.
This new Mole Mortar is going to be short-ranged, and far less destructive
(It's only going to be Strength 5 AFAIK, as compared to a Basilisk's Strength 8 shot... this weapon is sub-thuddgun in power...).
I'm afraid that this new update of the Mole Mortar isn't going to be anything like as powerful as the old Epic Mole Mortars, and I have to follow the Death Korps list's direction in this, not the Epic of fifteen years ago.
The difference can be gotten over by the Death Korps list using the new name 'Mole Launcher' as the weapon name, instead of 'Mole Mortar', that way neither list(s) has to compromise and go against their specific and independent background.
=====
Considering the Death Korps' attacking bias, and a need to make this weapon notably different to the other DK light support guns, I'm thinking perhaps making it a range 30cm AP4+ weapon that has a note of 'No Line of Fire required' like a Deathstrike.
Thus there's no incentive to sustain fire, like with a Thudd Gun or Heavy Mortar.
