With all the overhauls, new factions and vehicles and command abilities: are mortars still a thing?

As I get bored of dysfunctional squads I would like to join servers with two novice mates (as most commonly locked two man squads are forbidden) and to wreak some havoc. The two guys are turned off by the complexity of squad and the new ICO, but I could imagine using them as FOs and let it rain.

Alternate approach (to integrate them) would be to have a 3-man kind of recon squad 🥲
