All vehicles can be flipped when rammed, spanked by a hunter boss in firefight, naded, and emp for aerial vehicles they turn over and the driver/passenger are forced to get out. Right? Now with the mantis of all vehicles should be the most prone to turn over or flipped because it only has two tiny legs. But hey, it never flipped. Never saw a mantis flying. If youre driving a wraith and boost directly to a hunter, you’ll fly high. And that’s an alien tank it must be heavy. I tried everything just to make a mantis fly, flip in warzone but s***** me why did i do that. Any of you guys wonder why 343 made the mantis the heaviest vehicle? I think they forgot to create animations for the mantis laying across the ground or even upside down. I want to see your opinions.
(sorry bad english)
Flipping a Mantis on its side would be a huge deterrent for those who use it. Having to get out and flip it back up is repetitive and annoying, especially since it takes forever to enter / exit the cockpit.
I’m saying no; the Mantis shouldn’t be vulnerable to flipping over.
It would help with realism sure but would make the mantis virtually unusable because of how prone to tipping it would be
I don’t think anyone would use it considering the hour animation it takes to get in and out of it. Im fine with how it is to be honest. Not that I ever use it though
Never actually seen a Wraith flying high
Would you happen to have a vid?

Yah, I am interested in seeing this.
it would make it unusable
The only single driver vehicle that flips and throws you out is the ghost, which has a very fast flip and boarding.
The mantis takes a long time to get in to (although you are immortal while climbing and getting in).
Allowing the Mantis to flip would greatly deter any use of the vehicle
The way I see it, they’d have to add ragdoll physics to the mantis before it’s even blown up.
The Mantis is such a mysterious vehicle
You used to be able to ram A.I. Mantises and kill them. About the only thing you could get by affecting it with physical force. Having it fall over would just make it not worth using.

That would make its balance very poor. Factor in the irregular terrain of most maps and you’ve got a recipe for a useless hulk of a mech.

Exactly. If it could trip or flip it would look weird to not have rag doll, and having it just invites a whole mess of problems.

will do. i’ll show you

I have a video I’ll post.in firefight Park a warthog on the blue spawn when you know an enemy wraith will spawn. The wraith will fly off the map!
I would say that allowing the mantis to flip would even it out. You already have rockets AND a machine gun that can fire both at once. having it be able to flip would make it a high-risk-high-reward vehicle, not some overpowered vehicle that doesn’t even require skill to get kills with.

In H4, at least. In H5 it’s a piece of crap. It doesn’t kill things as fast as it used to, I believe it’s slower now, and at launch it could even be boarded from the front. Massive nerf, it’s not the vehicle it once was.
different vehicles have different benefits and drawbacks to them. mantis being slower, weaker and not having a ton of damage needs other things to offset those drawbacks.

yeah boy mantis would be trash otherwise

I see. You do have a good point and I guess I didn’t do my research.
