The weak points on a mantis and phaeton are huge within seconds you are down by the entire team with DMRs. I’m not saying this just to complain, because my phaeton got downed within 10 seconds of being pulled out, I’m saying it in general because I have literally killed a Phaeton and Mantis that have been freshly spawned no damage with a standard BR within seconds.
Too many soft spots on these vehicles in comparison to the gungoose and even the banshee.

You would think the manufacturer would of made them unboardable and after all those mantises that had grenade shoved in them that’s a hole they should maybe of covered up

Yeah a slight buff to their damage resistance to standard weapons would be very nice.
Or decrease the REQ requirements for both the phaeton and mantis, would make them less of a “great now I need to wait two minutes before spawning another one” and just make them as disposable due to their weak armor.
