Yes, but mortars can use exploding or carcass shot, which I think are more effective in the game than they were in real life. With 3 batteries of mortars and howitzers I've nearly wiped out the garrison of a fort. In the game round shot from cannon is pretty much useless against forts except for battering down the door.
