So my current list of Death Korps [1500pts] has 3 Quad Launchers in it. Would it be better to swap 1 or 2 out for Heavy Mortars?

No, because Quad Launchers do more damage to infantry. The type of target Heavy Mortars are good for killing don't actually appear very often (T3 or 4 infantry with 4+ saves and outside of cover- the whole point is that a player will put that kind of unit inside of cover). Also, Quad Launchers will still do plenty of damage against T3/4 4+ units.

Unless you can use the Assault Brigade list- the Carcass Shell option is pretty sweet, since it is S5, has Shred and Ignores Cover. 2x Quad and 1x Mortar with Carcass Shell could work.

Thanks for the reply

I go Siege Regiment so I don't have access to the Carcass Shells, so I'll stick to the 3 Quads
