NOTE: One Mantis system is not 1 gun, it’s 6, plus 2 radar installations.

You didn’t say anyone was manning them. So the nightwings obviously.

Erm acktually the Mantis Air Defense System is a fully automated anti aircraft mechanism, only requiring human activation.

And did you say it was activated? No.

I enchant this big yellow cheese block thing to not kill me

- Nightwings

Big yellow cheese block: "I'm not killing, I'm just liberating your flying capability from you!"

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thinking about this is my head, let’s say it’s 12 assassins. 6 are just gonna get turned into mist within 30 seconds flat.

Never heard of that. But what's the goal for the Nightwing assassins? They can't really kill something made of metal.

Depends. If they were just cruising by then probably the air defense system. But if they were trying to get at it then they would win because
*ahem* nightwings.

do the nightwings know what this is??

Nope. But once the Nächstbereichschutzsystem starts shooting, then they’ll attack.

Guns can’t hurt dragons though

Do I need to remind you that Queen Oasis died to a single spear?

That was in the eye

You clearly have no idea what you’re fighting against. The MANTIS Air Defense fires the PMD062. A 35X228mm (millimeter) Advanced Hit Efficiency And Destruction (AHEAD) shell. The rate of 1000 rounds per minute. JUST ONE shell is loaded with 152 sub-munitions.

I give up

Wait

Can’t they go to the control center and turn it off?

There are only 2 ways to de-activate a MANTIS system. One is to manually turn it off at the control center, but it’s usually far away from the guns. The second way is completely destroy the ARMORED radar installations.

So?
