Chuck, it's not a true mortar. Even your much vaunted Wikipedia article describes it as a Grenade Discharger and the "Nambu World" webpage refers to it as a Grenade Discharger or Grenade Launcher and it ALSO says

Type 89 covered the gap between the range a hand grenade could be thrown and the range of a true mortar

and never actually refers to it AS a "mortar" except as it's nickname "knee mortar"
Now go and read the information provided in the link in the Wiki article
LINK . Once the page loads look under "Infantry support weapons"

The most basic support weapon available in the average rifle platoon was the 50mm grenade launcher, erroneously known to the Americans as the "knee mortar." In reality it was hardly a mortar at all, more akin to the American M79 grenade-launcher (40mm) of Vietnam era fame, at least in terms of its lightness and general handiness. Unlike the later US weapon, however, the Japanese Type 89 grenade launcher was not shoulder-fired, but rather was meant to be braced against the ground when shooting

It was a game design decision to do this. So sorry you disagree but as you say "its your game after all". Yes, it is and we provide everyone with the tools to change anything they don't like or disagre with.
You have a history of sarcasm and abuse to anyone who disagrees with you and this last post is no exception.Take this as a warning it will not be tolerated any longer.
