I’ve been thinking about how cool it would be to have an anti-air mantis, (because the anti air wraith completely sucks against aircraft). Both “arms” would have the 6 missiles and could lock on to air targets from a much larger distance than any other mantis. I think it would be a level 7 ultra rare or legendary. Share your thoughts. (Please feel free to share other ideas for different versions of any vehicles)
i wouldnt think this would be all that use imo…as for aa wraith it locks on as the reticle becomes red so shots home in but the range for the riticle is rather short
so id push for a slight boost in that
Or their could be a armour mod that can increase the tracking range & behaviour of the missiles. I think your idea sounds decent to be in Halo 5.

Each mantis has the ability to track aircraft…so they’re already anti air

One that would actually do something against effective against aircraft would be nice though, I’ve never been able to shoot down a Banshee with one…
Maybe the missiles could air-burst near the target. And you could fire them individually or in a single burst, cause right now tapping the left trigger fires them all (no point in charging it up anymore since it doesnt do anything)

Those are pretty good points.
Charging up the missiles really has no effect? They don’t do more damage or move faster or anything?.

Maybe increasing its tracking range would help,but because all of them already do track aircraft it already technically is anti air
I think a more effective anti-aircraft Mantis would have two machine guns loaded with HEDP rounds like the ONI Warthog’s gun.

That would be very lethal.
