Wasn't the Mercury's name a long time ago the "Mini Howitzer"?

Mostly just referred to as the Howitzer.

But it's not a howitzer... Howitzers can fire at both low and high angles, so Scylla and Lumberjack are technically howitzers.  I think.

The light mortars full name is scylla double barreled mortar. Fun fact the lumberjack is a heavy mortar and it can be used for mortar achievements.

I hope players realize this before they reach the achievement for destroying balloon with mortars, surpised I haven't seen more people unload a whole magazine of greased light mortars into a balloon before

There's an achievement to destroy balloons with mortar?  That sounds so much easier than the kill ships with mortar one -- it's not that easy to manage to be the one to get a kill shot with the LJ, but nobody is ever gonna give a gunner a light mortar... so...

Clearly you have not seen the all new 100% mortar mobula meta. But most people finish this challenge by flying a metamidon where the gunner has a mortar and an engie has the gatling, it isn't perfect but it is a very easy way to do the challenge.

I always thought that the mercury was a direct fire gun firing large solid bullet that would rely on its kinetic energy to pierce armour and shatter components.

Just saying cos the weapon description in the game for the mercury annoys me saying that it fires powerful high explosive rounds but it doesn't do any explosive damage
