you could operate the S-tank yourself, but your left side was almost totally blind for you, sitting in commanders cupola-
You could shoot about 15 rounds per minute with ít's autoloader.

It was the greatest mortar base plate ever 

Could the mortar be used to fire anything but smoke and illumination rounds?

No, also they where really low calibre.

Wow that is quite awesome for an old weapon. A round every 4 seconds, is that enough time for the oscillations from the previous round to dampen? Or can the stabilized cannon handle that?

If its wet and not dusty, or wet snow you can do it, the problem is more to find targets fast enough and to re-aim within few seconds

Remember, it was meant to sit along the big roads, dug-in, shoot a couple of shots, call down prepared arty-points and drive backwards at full speed to next prepared dug-in, so it can definitely be done.
