Pdf of Osprey series being freely available on the internet make the world a much more insufferable place.

There are good references, in general... do you have any papers or sources of terrible art? Asking for a friend that has done lots of reference with Osprey for a specific time period.

Yeah, they are an okay-ish introduction to military history themes, and most of all they have very nice illustrations (which is very important, given the dearth of them in the corresponding academic fields). But just like Wikipedia has given birth to legions of Wiki-experts, well...
What do you mean by "terrible art"? Like Jackson Pollock? :D

due to their limited size osprey books are either a hit or miss, either the author will use the space to write something relevant to the books topic or it will get wasted on info you can find on the wiki.
their illustriations are top notch most of the time, especially those of angus macbride.

You mean glaring errors in the illustrations? As Gaius Maximus said, illustrations in Osprey are usually high quality (both in terms of art and in terms of fidelity of representation). The problem is not with them, rather with people taking them as "100% indisputable truth of how every single warrior from a certain period was equipped" , instead of "a hypothesis (among many others which are also plausible) of reconstruction of how some warriors from a certain period might have been equipped, and inevitably depending on the usually very limited evidence that has survived".

Looks nice but they should add useful named armors, not good looking junk nobody's going to use.

Mortars were first used as early as 1453 by the Ottomans during the siege of Constantinople. Some were large devices that weighed 4,500 kg (5 tons) and were capable of firing projectiles in excess of 100 kg (220 pounds) through a tube roughly 1 metre (3 feet) in length.
